A very old mentality may suite but….. is the converter an old school converter? How do I know this? I have to error on the side of caution since it could be a old school converter.
Now you said cruiser and then out in parentheses, hot rod. Two different one sets in my head! Even with 3.55’s and a 26” tire, you’re still looking at reasonably matched cams your said you wanted to drive around on with some trips to the track? Sounds like a regular old cruiser car to me the way we did them in the ‘70’s and ’80’s.
The duration @.050 you listed at first are 220 & 226. I have a 226 hyd roller in the wife’s ride we cruise around in. IMO, this is t a fast car and the combo is a total street ride. Just extra power moved up in rpm with the camshaft. A 2800-3200 max stall is a good match for the Hyd roller 226@050.
Sure! More won’t hurt if it’s a good recently built converter. The ‘70’s were very different.
This is what I was thinking you were saying. The ability to cruise with a good “Go Pedal” feel. Good street performance!
Modern converters that is! LOL!
From the slight change in view point via the description you left, not the first feel of the first post, I think you will enjoy it.
Looking forward to your report!
