Just finishing putting together a 440RB stroker. Wondering what power numbers it should make, and opinions on the combo. It's going in a Ramcharger for mud racing/off roading/play truck. 44" tires, 5.38 gears.

Also what would be suggested for a converter, 727 trans. Do not want the converter to slip when driving down the highway at 60-70 mph. Have been considering Hughes 24-25HD 11" 2500 stall.
