Well I am not 100% positive on the stall of my torque converter, but If I remember correctly it is a 10", so it should be better than stock.
I was also told if I pulled my cam out and did not have all my lifters marked per the cam that I would have to replace them too, is that true? I have been thinking I would need to replace my cam but wasn't sure, but if I don't have to per your opinions then Id like to stay with as much of the parts that I already have obviously to save money, but I do want to make sure its done right, so I'll get what I need to get, just need some direction. Again, I'm sorry if I sound amateur in my comprehension of this stuff, but I am very good at following instruction and have turned plenty of wrenches to be able to handle this build, I just need to know what to build with. Thanks!

No, you dont really have to buy new lifters if you didnt mark them. its a good practice to do this, but not detrimental. I would degree the cam when you put it back in to make sure its instanned correctly, and just put it back together.
Are you out of your head? What idiot just tosses in used lifters out of order? Its a guarantee to wipe out a cam. This is terrible advice. ALWAYS return used lifters to their original position OR install NEW lifters and follow traditional break in procedures.

Man this forum hasn't changed at all in 8yrs, yall are still all over it, I really appreciate the feedback! I have been out of the hobby way too long, and have lots of rust, its sad when you cant even remember what you bought(TC). I will pull it out tonight and examine it and see if it has any markings, it may even be an 11" just measuring from the front side while its still in the tranny, I'll pop the starter off and pull it out to look it over tonight and update yall on what I find out...
Now Im not sure how well the motor would have ran with the cam in wrong, but it sounded like a beast when it ran last, like it should burn the dang tires off, that's why it was so disheartening when it wouldn't do anything...Then the bearing spun so, now I just want to make sure I have it right this time...
Thanks again for all the input...
