Im wondering how a converter I have will perform behind my engine. Its a B&M 2000 stall. So curious if anyone else is running something similar to this.

Its going in my 71 Scamp behind a 360, with J heads, ported, 268 cam and air gap intake, TTI headers, proabably about 9:1 compression. 727 trans and 8-3/4 with 3.73 gears.

I think I have all the info. Car will be mostly a cruiser and would like to maybe take to the track a couple times.
 
Thanks for that link, that does give me some insight and was actually interesting. Although still not knowing what my torque band is Im still taking a guess.

I found this off of B&M site... A good rule of thumb for advertised cam durations up to 248 degrees, a 2000 or 2400 stall converter is a good choice. Advertised cam durations up to 268 degrees, a 2400 or 3000 stall converter is a good choice. Advertised cam durations over 272 degrees, a 3000 to 3600 stall converter is a must.

So curious to those of you that run a 268 cam, are you running a converter within in the 2400-3000 stall range?
 
I would pick at least a 3000 stall if it were my ride. Buy a quality one & you won't even notice the higher stall until you hammer on it.
