Help me pick a torque coverter: Turbo 400 behind a 396
Hi all!
Getting close to bolting my TH400 up to my 396. Still a few weeks to go. Details:
1: I'm not building a drag car. I'm going to cruise in this old girl. That said, it will go down the quarter mile a few times just to see what I've built...
2: 1968 Camaro
3: Rear End: 12 bolt posi. Gears will be either 3.55 or 3.73 (likely 3.55)
4: Engine Details...
- 396
- 11.1 compression
- heads: Edelbrock Perf RPM Oval Port 290CC
- cam: Howards roller 600/600 286/286
- Intake: Weiand Stealh
- Carb: Holley 800CFM 4150 double pumper
Question: I'm in need of a torque converter with a nice stall. I have 2500 - 2800 RPM stall in mind. It will be a street cruiser with a couple passes on a strip just to see what she'll do. What do the experts say about a nice stall?
Thanks![/LIST]1968 Camaro

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
