Power doesn't mean too much when it comes to obliterating gearboxes, it's all about torque. And with a blown 500ci engine, you should have a bit of torque to spare... Rough calculations suggest that with 800hp at 6500rpm, you'd have around 650 Ft/Lb of torque. And I wouldn't really ask a W box to put up with that for too long. While not the strongest, nicest or cheapest box around, maybe a T56 kit would be one idea you could try? I guess another option is to use an auto, but you don't sound so keen on that idea.
An R154 ('Supra turbo')box would probably be quite alright with the NA engine, and for that matter a W box would survive quite alright if the thing was treated sedately - but I'm presuming (merely speculating?) that you'd like to do some reasonable sized burnouts, and slam some gears down the quarter, as you'd probably just use a 350 if you were planning on boulevard cruising. This is, of course, me presuming! Tell us more about your intentions...
