I was gonna hook up the engine and trans and set it in the frame when the question of torq converter popped up in my little brain......Im runnin a bored and stroked (.060 bore and 400 crank) SBC 350 (also has a mild cam), hooked to a 350 trans and 4:10 gears out back. It's just a T coupe body on a square tube frame so its pretty light. Do I need to run a high stall converter or can I use the stock one. This engine and trans was originaly in a full size blazer 2 wheel drive if that helps any. Just to make this a little more interesting....here's a shot of the engine finally together and painted. Also a shot of the rats nest being cleaned out!!!



In a 383 if you have a cam that has more than 220 degree's at .050 then I would try and run one.
If you know the cam specs. that will help us a lot.
