big block stall behind a small block

360. 10.3 compression, 528 cam, 1.6 roller rockers, engine quest heads worked over, performer rpm intake, headers, 750 carb. I have no info on the 440. I was just told its a 3500 Hughes stall behind a 440.

Do you KNOW for a fact that it's a Hughes converter, or just going on what someone has told you? If it's indeed a Hughes converter, take the part number off of it and email Hughes with your engine information and they'll be able to tell you what you're looking for.

Just because someone tells you it's something doesn't mean a damn thing. At a swap meet one time I saw a guy selling a T.C.S. high stall. The part number on it was 35-12SS and he claimed that it was good for 3000-3500 stall. The converter was designed to give 300-500 rpm over a stock TH350 converter. The stock 350 converter stalls at about 1400 RPM. The other sad part of the story was he wanted more for this used high stall converter than what we sold them for new.

Used high stalls(or any used converter) IMHO, make good door stops unless you know the history of the unit.
