While the TKO only costs 100 bucks more, you're also gonna need a new bigger clutch if you get a TKO. The Tko is a good tranny though and you should definitely should look into a new tranny if you have the money. I blew my T5 about 6 weeks after I put my 331 in. I found another T5 to put in and it lasted for about 5 weeks. I then rebuilt my old one myself and it seems to be holding out ok, but if I had money I would have most likely bought a Tremec T3550. You should also look into getting a better driveshaft, and better axles. Depending on your rear end you may want to at least pull the cover off and relube it. The K-member would be much easier to change while the motor is out, but the stock K-member isn't too bad. Springs could also be changed pretty easy if you are looking to change suspension or lower the car. You should also get some subframe connectors if you don't have them yet because the torque from a 331 will twist your car like a pretzel. You will be in desperate need of traction with 400 horses also, so you may want to change your control arms, they helped a good bit for me, but I still have major tracion issues. Good luck!
