I haven't picked a converter yet. The car is a street car with an occasion pass down the 1320. I don't really have a preference between solid lifter vs. hydraulic. Any ideas???

For a solid, the comp XS282S is pretty nasty in a 340 and would have that set up making in the 450hp range. Pick what you want and go. Hyd or solid. Buy a good converter, will make a lot of difference.
