would like to go with a higher stall converter..not sure how high.....
 
74 Gremlin..2950Lbs with driver
401..9.5CR..Torker..750 Edelbrock carb
Reed cam dur @50 232/236 lift I518 E523
727..TC .2500+ (current)
rear gear 4.11 .. 28 inch MT/ET Street tires...
 
thanks,
 

Rule of thumb I have heard is you want the stall to be 1000 less than the rpm where you make peak HP.  Guessing with your cam that is maybe 5500, so a 4000-4500 stall converter would not be out of the question.  I am assuming that you do not drive this car, except down the track.  Cuz that rule of thumb is you want the stall to be less than your cruising rpm...

I have ran a high stall convertor around on the street some. It's really not a problem if it is a high quality converter.
 
If you buy junk you have junk.
 
I have had excellent results out of ATI converters....but be preparred to spend $800-$1000.

I know you couldn't help it....nothing like a good dig to bring a smile to everyone  
 
A good converter $800-$1000.....a select older turbo 400 core with the good gm (government motors) guts...?? scrap price...... heavy duty sprag......$65.......ultrabell....$300....sfi flexplate $350...rebuild kit .....$65 - $75.......labor for my rebuilder $300.00.....trans brake valvebody off ebay from Redneck Performance works great $280 (I paid a lot less for mine 4 years ago)
 
Maybe around $2200.00 or so total race rdy....and a nice heavy duty unit that will take some abuse !
 
A nice wormbox setup to go fast and not break....$10,000
 
Those worms are to expensive to row !
 

 
If I ever get rich enough to own a real nice lenco or liberty setup that would be cool but a big bore block, billet crank and some heads to go with it comes first

And with a convertor you will find that to get it optimum you will have to send it back once or twice to get it perfect...unless you buy a bolt together unit...$$$$
But a YDF Data logger will help in torque convertor refinement

I wish I had 1200-1500 HP to put to mine to see what happened...it would probably snap like a toothpic but it does a good job at my power level for pretty cheap  !  
 
To get to 1500 HP to try out the theory I need about a 800 HP shot of nitrous.....lol....and I would rather not scrape my crank up off the track.

Your doing just fine Jim Lever-action is for younger folks I just couldn't resist  A little more convertor sounds like a good plan for you, what kind of 60 #'s are you getting now? SH
