My setup would be as follows:
DDP 2's or 5x12's
HE351CW or VE if you want some better tuneability
4k rpm spring
110 lbs valve springs
Walbro 392 with a 2nd Gen piston lift pump (I like redundancy for going off-road)
Holley 4307M regulator set at 16psi for safety
Timing advance spacer
Con-FE for some slipping (grabby but it helps hold the power)
All this is good for 350hp and high revving that you are going to need.
Now the HE351VE (variable vane) would be the hot ticket if you can get it to work just right.

That motor has plenty of torque the way it sits...get your crawl ratio down low and you wouldn't even notice 100 extra hp...just break more $hit. A buddy and I are building a crawler too with an RV 440/727 trans, 205/203 doubler...and are waiting on $ for knuckles,cromo shafts...etc to make the D60 attempt to stand a chance. I hate being stuck on the side of the trail when a Toyota crawls passed you because your heavy foot got you into trouble!

Also, to move the torque around, play with the timing and when the wastegate opens. If it opens sooner with less boost, and timing is pretty far advanced, the torque pre-2000 rpms would be significantly less making the drivetrain last slightly longer.

Ditto about the clutch....gets old real fast...I'm sure there's about 1000 guys out there that would swap their auto for your 5 speed
