Ok so I went ahead and bought a Hugh's torque converter rated at 2500rpm for a Chevy BIG block which, according to to documentation should be somewhere between 2000 and 2200 go my 350.
Now a dumb question. I'm ready to pull the old 350 out, can I do that while leaving the tranny in place or do I need to take both out at the same time. The tranny is a TH350.

You can for sure pull the engine, leaving the tranny in place, but in my experience it's going to be a lot harder to get the new engine & old tranny aligned and done right that way. It's LOTS easier to pull the engine & tranny, connect the new engine & tranny on the shop floor, and re-install the engine & tranny as a unit. Others may disagree.
