Great advice guys, the converter is currently in the car. Can defiantly change it out during the engine swap. was your car a little too much on the street? my car will see 90% street action, so i don't want to get crazy with the cam, converter and rear gear.




Probably 70/30 strip street. Even a 4.10 type gear at 60 mph ish with a 28 inch tire runs 3000-3200 or so, paying attention with convertor choice. That isn't gonna hurt anything. The cam I ran used ultra mild spring pressures, could put thousands of miles on such a setup.
Even an 8 inch convertor with good tranny pan and. cooler should live just fine.
You have a lot of nice parts there and wanting heads ported. Why saddle the combo to run 12's when it can runs 10's 90% as reliably.
