It looks like converter time to me whiney Have it checked now before pulling all your hair out up whistling
time to go with a converter more compatable with your new combo, it may be only port work but it changed the characteristics of the motor and and the power range is in a higher rpm range.


Light travels faster than the speed of sound,,,this is why some people seem bright untill you hear them speak.

283@.050, not a ton of compression, big heads, big intake....... I’d be looking for at least 5600 flash stall.

Put that thing on a dyno.. hopefully you can
find out what the engine problem is and get a
torque number for a converter.. right now it
sounds like your lost.. spend a bit now and
save yourself a pile later

I would love to put it on a dyno but it’s just not in the cards as I’m semi retired and still waiting on my cash flow to start . I believe I’m have a couple issues with it. One I didn’t jet it up at all after the head work, that’s fixed now. Second is the converter but it get work as I speak and I have an old J in there now, and third I think I’m at the power level that the shocks are going to need to be looked at .. I’m still running the 9000s that came with the kit ..

I have a J conv in both of my cars.. the race
car is basically a stock J that stalls at 5600
rpm in my SB and the other is a J that I had
the stall dropped down to 4700 and the efficiency
is tightened up so it doesnt slip like stock..
that on is in my Rampage... both are 8"
