I have 383 stroker, 11:1 compression, .060 over, Keith Black pistson, 400 heads, 290 cam with 478 lift, TH350 tranny with a 2500 stall.

Ok here is the issue, just got the motor running very good, idles great and all now.... as soon as I put it in gear though it basically dies unless im on it. I assume this is due to the stall? Can I run without a stall converter and just run a normal torque converter? Would this solve the issue? I dont mind the performance lose as its just basically a show truck.

Any help of input would be great.
