I remember hearing about how the frito-lay box trucks made in the 80's had a Gear vendors/TH400 combo behind a diesel, I don't know anything else about them but maybe thats a route thats worth considering...

Personally, I hate automatics (especially that rat bastard 700r4) with an intense passion, and would dump either automatic in leiu of an NV4500 mated to an NP208 or NP241. I'm waiting for somebody to make a bellhousing so we can get the NV5600 behind a SBC/BBC...
