1970 351W FMX trans. My engine will be a 408 stroker built on a Dart block. forged Mahle pistons, around 10.0:1 compression, AFR 195's; the engine builder is about to order a custom cam and is asking me what speed stall I'm gonna run. ??!!?? uh... I was hoping to stay stock? he says "no", you should run at least a 2500.
the stock unit seems to stall at 1500 but that is just me doing a brake check on it - and I believe there are two different "stall" ratings. This will be a street only car.
do I really want/need to replace the converter? it doesn't sound too difficult, but besides reading and watching videos I really have no idea which converter or stall speed to select. they seem readily available for 2000, 2500, 3000, 3500,
I see Hughes, and ACC/Boss Hog. others? which one to choose?
