Throw in your.02 on Torque Converter Suggestion

I'm going to use my car to take the kids to Sonics, etc...As you mentioned you were going to use the car to get bagels on Sunday morning I think you're wise to keep it stock or real close to it. I recently put a Keith Long tranny in my 340 Duster which has 3.23 gears, 727, TQ, stock manifolds, one up from stock purpleshaft cam. Keith recommended no more than a 2500 and shipped a custom one from PATC. I have the original stock converter, which would work for you, if you're interested...probably better off getting a new one, but if you're on a tight budget...could have it checked out to make sure it's ok. I hope to get the car on the road soon to check out the combo...never heard of anyone not happy with Keith's recommendations...good luck! Mark
