With an engine making more torque than a mild 350, you definitely want an aftermarket trans with HD parts that increase how much torque the trans can handle.
Maybe you can buy one from Phoenix Trans and find someone local or in El Paso to install it. But the shop definitely must be familiar with setting up the TV cable! Go ask the Dirt Track guys at Rick's Performance for a recommendation. There used to be a very knowledgably guy at Desert Moon Rod & Kustom north of town, but it doesn't look like he's in business anymore.
