Carburetor size Question
Wowzers! Thanks for the info and doing the math on all that but I am struggling to keep up. I read it three times and I guess I'm just dense.
Sounds like you are saying drop a cam size and go with a SFT. Get 2.91 gear, get a 2600-2800 stall TC?
I'm going to stick with the camshaft for now and go with the 3.23's.
What stall torque converter should I get that wouldn't have to rev to go forward after putting the trans in gear. I was going to look into a stall converter but the engine builder suggested that for what I was wanting to do with the truck (interstate / cruising) I could stick with the stock unit.
I'm not very experienced with stall converters but I would want one that has real smooth power delivery and drove like you wouldn't notice it until you mashed the gas.
A determining factor in choosing a stall would be to not get one that flashes below your cam's power band, right? Right in the middle of the power band? Also, the truck weighs about 3500 pounds. Would a 2800-3000 stall converter work well?
One more thing. I just realized I have a 625 cfm Street Demon on my 340 Duster so I will have that to play with. The Duster is farther out than the truck is. I'm still piecing it together.
@RustyRatRod I just finished blacking out the core behind the grill and installed the grille so I am about to figure out that headlight bucket situation.
