3500 lbs. is a little heavy....Used to be a 3000 lb rule with a glide weather you would pick up or not. I have run glides in several cars 3000 lbs and they wewre not slower with a glide. You have to gear and converter them right.
3000lbs was always the cutoff that I always heard too, but I know converters have come a long way. I also think I'll be able to add power if need be to keep this land barge moving, just not sure how happy it'll be on the shift recovery. Ideally, I'd like to do a 3 speed TH400 with a 1.8 low gear set, but that gets a little pricey!
