If it will bolt up to it go for a Tremec TKO. I don't know squat about the clevland's, but it is cool as hell that you are stuffing one in there.

the only advice i would give you is not to go any bigger than a 750 on the carb, that itself might be even too large for the street. try a 650, holley or whatever.

I'd consider using an older style trans that would be easier to mount to a 351C like an FMX or something. I'm not sure what kind of bolt patterns they carry or if a tranny designed for late model 5.0s will even bolt up. Also, have you considered what a huge pain a non-factory Cleveland installation is? They're a bit wider which makes it hard as hell to fit stuff in. I'm not saying don't do it...not by any means. Just be careful.
