I would like to be able to do sustained 65-70 mph speeds where possible. So I would like to have the strongest drivetrain possible without breaking the bank. I just wasn't sure how the 221 would handle such use.

For that use I would not be worried about a good rockwell t221 case.
I would use fresh input shaft bearings and adjust the preload on the rest of the bearing if they are in usable condition new seals and synthetics and you will be good to go.
I consider 8 to 10k loaded heavy not 2500lbs.
