Travis' advice is all right on the mark. But if you still think you want a higher stall convertor, fgo with a mild one, i.e., 2,500 stall. I ran one like this from TCI. I can't remember for sure what their marketing hype name was but I think it was street dominator. I ran it with a 428CJ essentially stock except for a Schneider solid cam with specs similar to the 306/500 Ford 427 cam. I ran various intakes/carbs and gear ratios from 3.50 like yours up to 4.56. Yes, the 4.56 & C6 combination was miserable on the street. I finally settled on 3.89s which I really liked for all around driving. I didn't take too many road trips but a few. But about the convertor, it worked very well. It would stall right at 2,600 and launch the 3,840 lb. Starliner nice off the line with 28" tall tires. It was probably worth a couple of tenths. But I had run this exact engine in a '66 Cyclone with a stock 428CJ convertor and it was so much more fun on the street with that stocker.
So I guess I'd say that if your cam is not too radical, go with a stocker. It's up to you. |
