That's not a lot of power for those trannies. You should be fine with a basic rebuild and a shift kit to change the pressures.
Get a 46RE for the upgraded internals and run the 46RH valve body.
I don't think that is possible since the RE will not have the HYD gov circuit.
An RH or 518 shouldn't be hard to find , RE is 96 up , but he needs to decide if he wants lockup or not .
Build the OD section to Diesel V10 specs and you'll be fine , everything forward is a 727 , don't worry about the sprag , it's a much better piece in the OD trans , think it's 14 elements in a plastic holder for it and the springs . I broke my output shaft on the trans in my ram power braking against the convertor to build boost with the trans in drive , rear band not applied , didn't hurt it , truck was fixed at the dealer and they didn't do anything other than pull the OD unit to fix , left the trans in the truck .
