Transmission replace or keep?

Hey everyone new to this site but I got a question. I Have a 74 C30 dually. Just got the body completely done now I am adding the drivetrain. Built 468 bbc with 480 hp and 560 ft lbs of torque is it possible to use the original th350 manual tranny? I already picked up a stage 2 clutch and flywheel but I don't know if those kinda specs would just tear the **** out of the gears. any help???

Well said, Insidious. Two thumbs down to Borg Warner.
