If the bellhousing is seperate to the box, it's a Trimatic. Otherwise it's probably a T350/400. Trimatics can apparently be built to withstand 450 HP, but how much money do you want to spend?
More importantly, what pattern block do you have?

304 will probably be chev pattern and U will need a different bell housing to run trimatic.
same rules apply for all autos, shift into top asap (ie dont hold low gears) and no down changing from too high road speed. If the 304 is a real goer then the traumatic may need some mods to keep up.

You can mate any transmission to it these days plenty of shops out there that modify bell housing to suit application
