Trying to get Power out of a 225

Keep in mind when You pick a torque converter they are advertised w/an "avg" stall range, read smallblock V8, so say a 350/360 inputs 50% more Tq than the little /6.
You've got to pick around 1K above to get what you want, more if the cam is real big..........so think 4200 rating & up.

at this point i wouldnt "pick" a torque converter at all
i would call one of the reputable torque converter builders and tell them what you have, what you want and have them build you one

when i did my duster i called three different companies, all of which came highly recommended on fabo, and went with the one that asked the most questions...which happened to be PTC

that ended up costing me about $500 including shipping and it handles like a dream
the car idles in gear at 700 and will creep if i let my foot of the brake, but if i get on the go pedal the engine will jump to 3200 ish before the converter engages, the tires start to fry and the rear end starts coming around
