i am doing a 5.3 swap in my 78 nova, going to use 200r4 transmission, going to run edlebrock carb set up with quick fuel slayer 600cfm, the motor will be stock for now, looking at 3.42 gears, that stall speed should i use?

I had RevMax build me a converter for my 5.3 4l80e in my '77. It should stall at 3200 according to them, Haven't gotten to drive it yet. I see a lot of people over at ls1tech running 3500 stall speed and saying if your anything past stock don't go lower than 3200-3500 or you'll regret it.

I did an FTI 3600. Two words after I mashed the go pedal for the first time: Underwear swap.

I used a stock trailblazer converter in mine stalls right at cam min operating range cost effective and works great. I have a 3:73 gears with 12 bolt and putting down 370 rwhp thru an A4..

I have a 67 with 3.42s and a 29" tall tire and a 434 sbc, i had coan build a 2800 stall for a th 350 i love it on the highway im turning 3000 rpm at 70 but if you get under that or crusing in town it never gets out of the stall, in that case i wis it was a smaller stall?

Depends on your future plans....what mods are you planning on doing later, particularly what cam do you plan to run, that will tell all......

I like the idea of the trailer blazer stall. My motor is stock so that route will be better.

 

[ron c]

my plans are to run it stock for some time since the motor only has 8000 miles on it

Use a stock stall. The Corvette stall is 2080 rpm, and perfect for a stock engine.......have used three of them and they work great. In addition, the cost is considerably less.....

Im also running a 5.3 with a 2004r transmission and a 12 bolt with 3.08 detroit tru-trac rearend gear. Transmission guy set me up with a custom 10" converter to save on weight with a 2400 rpm stall. Havn't fired it yet but soon:yes:

Yank! Best money you can spend on a convertor

Which FTI 3600 stall STR converter did you go with on that FTI 3600? There are two. The 6082 or the 0086?
