Starting powerlifting

I'be been lifting for a couple months now, I'm 16, 6'2" 205lbs, and can now bench 165lbs, squat 255lbs, and deadlift 285lbs...
I want to start lifting for strength only, so basically just powerlifting... Would working out every other day with a 2 day split be alright for the first couple weeks/months? I would do deadlift/squat focus one day, then bench press/upper back the next, then just keep alternating the two...
Would this work or would I be overtraining? I have a lot of muscular endurance, thats basically where all my (practically nonexistent, but alas) strength comes from, so I believe it would be fine... What do you guys think?
