The current combo is
383 727. 8.75 with a 355 gear and 26.8 inch tires
I’d like to run a gearvendor unit to lower my 65-70 mph cruise rpm by 400 or 500 whatever it is
I’m also running a 2500 stall converter now. The cam is a 230/236 comp grind that has issues wanting to push through the brakes Hence the upgrade to the 2400-2500 stall converter
What’s everyone’s opinion. Will the combo work?
I’d like to be 2500 rpm as close to 70 as possible

Unless you are running a lockup style 727, you need to consider what your cruise rpm will be v/s the converter rpm. If cruise is lower than the converter it might be a problem. You would need to discuss it with your converter manufacturer. true i have a cheap hughs 2400 converter i assume that it "should" be ok for me i like fti and pro torque myself i

Finding and buying a good torque converter can be very challenging, especially on the street The understatement of the decade It took me 3 tries to get happy with my converter. And I have to pull the engine and tranny to change the converter. What a chore.
Master, again and still
