you already got a 2500 stall in there and it pulls at idle to the point of stalling?
youll need more than that as far as stall is concerned.
and billet really isnt what you need (waste of money IMO).
just with the 4:11 rear 3000 minmum.
I thought you were gonna do a cam change later on instead so the little woman can enjoy the car????
but IMO its cheaper to do a converter change.
talk to your local (trustworthy)mechanic and have him take it for a drive and see what he thinks????
I should have let ya take my car for a spin to see what the properly selected converter feels like.

Dawg, The camshaft and converter should be matched and with my luck, it won't match up unless I find out what the cam is first.

stall too high = unnecessary heat for the trans
stall too low = performance suffers

The cam change might be the right way to go but I'd really like to find out what cam is in there first.

then pull it out and send it to either crane or comp and they will profile it for you for Not that much money. then Honestly whil its out get a Modern Valve train. and by modern i man hyd roller with a new technology cam profile/ramp rates. you can get twice the drive-ability and more hp. But thats just me. and you can Deffinetly get the converter you NEED. and not what some old bastard thinks you should get.... Yes im talking to YOU DAWG!!!! BAAAAHHHHHHHHAHAHAHA

[DAWG]

must be that time of month for Pizza!!!!!!
Midol helps ya know!!!!!
you can spec a cam while its in the car btw!
no need to remove it.
a cam degree wheel and a good dial indicator with the correct procedure and youll have all the info you need.
i seen it done before

Its a lot harder then you think and it only gets you close to the spec sheet. Find icl and lsa is a bitch with the cam in the motor.

you can get the cam specs close in the car, but why go through the trouble? swap in a 4 speed.....DONE! (prolly $$$ close to a modern cam and converter swap)

I would like the wife to be able to drive it when the 69 is done and teaching her to drive a standard would be horrible.

For the price throw the old one away and get an off the shelf that will do what you are looking for. No guessing or agravation.

Oh and oppinions are like assholes we all have one and they all stink hahahaha

True, but it's one of the things I really like about this site!!! That you get opinions from people that have tried different things and found out what works, and what doesn't and are willing to give their advice. Not that it's all good, but without someone offering an opinion sometimes I have no idea where to start from.
