need new trans

[az01gt]

i am new to the fox body/automatic mustang. my 67 had a 4 speed manual and my 2001 has a 5 speed. well i just found out today that my aod on my 88 gt vert has a lot of metal in the pan and my converter isn't locking up properly. my question is what kind of transmission would you recommend? i don't want to just rebuild this one because what i have learned is they aren't capable of holding up to alot of power. i have to keep it auto because of a promise made to my girlfriend. anyways i have a 347 swap happening this winter and i want a trans that will stand up to roughly 500 supercharged hp. any recommendations would be appreciated. thanks
