Suggestions on transmission - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am about to start fixing up my 70 C10 with a inline 6 and three speed on the column. I'm going to ditch the I-6 for a 383 stroker and I want the truck to be for the street and strip. I'm torn between the transmission I want. The mechanic who is going to work on the truck keeps suggesting a 350 trans with shift kit because it would be the cheapest and most reliable but I really want overdrive to get some decent gas mileage. I also want to the transmission to be able to hold up to about about 600 horses or so. The 383 I'm building will have close to that or more on a 125 shot of nitrous. I'm would really like to spend no more than $2000 on the transmission if that's possible for this truck. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
