the motor is actually being built right now and i should be getting it back soon, its a 350 bored .60 over with a mild cam, i'm not sure on the lift and duration i forgot the specs in the box at the engine shop, but it is a mild cam probably gunna push around 400hp. 4:10 gears in a 10 bolt rear, th400 tranny. does the convertor size matter when i buy one, like a 10'' 11'' 12''? thanks dom

Typically the smaller the converter the higher the stall. I hade a custom built 9" thats a 3000 stall from neal chance, awesome conveter. Call them up and give them your specs and they can build you one. IMHO a custom build converter is the only way to go. Still no cam specs so I can't really give you an idea on what to use.

Typically the smaller the converter the higher the stall.

That's sort of true. It's 100% true of stock style converters--typically $400 or less. But with full on custom converters, it's possible to do a small diameter low stall unit. For example, we can build a 9.5" converter down to 2400 rpm stall. That would be ideal for a lightweight car with a mild engine package.

For this car, mild cam probably means a power band from 2000 rpm to 6000 rpm. With a 4.10 gear and typical A-body weight, I would go 10" 2800 rpm stall like this:
