One last question - I've never used anything other than a stock converter before - how street friendly is a 3800 stall? How does it affect weekend trips to the store or just cruising around?
The motors going to scream---oh you can drive it everyday it just going to rev alot.
3800 stall speed, keep your 2.02 valves, theres nothing wrong with it. Mopar knew what they were doing using it in all 1968-1970 340 motors, even the ones with 3.55 gears.
It run better-maybe not much but better-than the 1.88. And you already have it, why change it ? Spend your money else where.
I am using that on my 318, haven't notice no power loss at lower speeds. In fact it seems to make more power everywhere compare to my 318 heads.
They are nice castings, # 4772576 MP, maybe thats why. Muscle Motors thought they are better than the J or X heads. I got E-bay lucky with a buy it now and seen it after it was on for only 2 hours. There really is good buys on E-bay still.
