Post which tranny to use

I am about to put a 455 pontiac in my 67 firebird. I wanted to know which tranny I should put behind this engine. The engine will be producing around 510 hp and 550 torque. I want an automatic 4 speed transmission.

That's what I was thinking about, but this car will be driven on the street more than at the track so I didn't want anything that would give me hard shifts.
