Default I have a 1990 5.0 motor carb conversion in my1984 GT and it has the original trans

Is this transmission going to be strong enough to handle what I want to do to this car?
The motor is fresh and has a holley 650 4bbl.
I have 3.55 gears and true duals
I am about to do the clutch and it has the 10" instead of the 10.5"
I want to know if this is going to be a problem for me over the next year or so?
I am going to do a complet MSD ignition next and a 50-100 shot of NOS.
I want a tremec but right now it is too much as I am working on the interior, and getting it road worthy.
I am just a little confused if any of the other transmissions (world class) are going to any more durable before I goto a tremec?(or should I put that money aside for a tremec?
come on guys I need help.
I purchased this car as is for 1600. (check out my pics and tell me what you think!
Runs like a scaulded dog! But clutch slips.has upgraded rearend and 3.55 gears.

if the clutch slips now, its not goin to hold up to anything else. get a 10.5 inch clutch and flywheel. install that then save your money for the tremec, or an astro performance T5.

sweet car, at an incredible deal. not to mention T tops and 94-97 cobra wheels, and five lug.
