For a bone-stock 350cid the 350 Turbo Hydramatic 3-speed auto is more than adequate. I've seen more than a few of them mated to engines making up to around 330-350hp @ the crank and held up just fine.
If you're going to be doing work to it to make it around 500hp (and that will take some real doing - don't think a few bolt-ons will get you there) you'll want to look into getting that current ****** built to hold it or possibly think about sourcing a Turbo 400.

Turbo 350 will be fine for now, but keep an eye out for a Turbo 400, as mentioned before.
