You're not going to find a stock one that handles that. You will need to find a modded one.
Your best bet would be a Jerico or Lenco box, better have lots of $$$$.

Remember, it is almost impossible for anyone, myself included, to diagnose a problem over the internet without seeing the car. My advice is simply that, advice based on years of experience. I don't want you or anyone taking my word as gospel. I am trying to give some direction as to what I think may be happening.

The early Ford toploaders will handle that power.. HEH or the RUG ! The smal block ( 26 spline out put shaft) can and will hold it! the BB version ( 31 spline out put shaft) is better, however not truly needed. You can "pro-****" mod thru Liberty Gears !! The Ford " Top Loader 4 speed trans" has been used in Nascar, all drag cars.. and have been proven to hang in there for ever!! I run one behind my 67 544 Cid BBF!!

Just a thought...

Just me.............................

They take automatic trans fluid. Gear lube will burn one up in about and hour of driving.
