I suspect you have a kickdown problem, either switch a switch or the solenoid.
The V8's are nativly second gear start cars. They can be shifted down into first gear a number of ways.
1) By shifting the lever all the way down and over to the right
2) By pushing the pedal all the way to the floor and hitting the kickdown switch.
I would recommend disconnecting the switch that is behind the gas pedal and seeing how things go.
If that does nothing then crawl under the car and disconnect the kick down solenoid at the rear of the transmission and give it a try.
