Hey Pete,
Like Cobra9268 stated, I would just go with a rebuilt AOD from a Mustang or from a 3/4-1 ton truck. It should be able to hold the torque of that small block. One thing I would advise is that if you're planning to do a lot of street driving, don't use a too-high stall torque converter. You'll hate yourself for it. That 408 will make lots of torque down low anyway, so there's no use in revving the piss out of it just to get moving. A 1000-1200 rpm stall would be fine. And yes, locking converters would be better...more efficient...less loss of power.
