727 Torque Converter Recommendations??

440Scamp71 said
So I finished my 727 tranny rebuild and it's time for a torque converter. The car will have a 440 stroker with a 3.23 rear end and 27.5 inch tires. The cams specs are 226 duration and .47 valve lift. When I typed this into a engine rpm it said my cruise rpm at 60 mph would be about 2368 rpm.
So this brings me to the question of what stall do i need?
I'm looking at torque converters in the 2400-2500 range but i fear of over heating. I plan to add a transmission fluid cooler so would that cover it?
Any thoughts on this converter?
Thanks!!

I would go to the Hughes website and click on the box where it says fill out tech card. Give them the information they're looking for and see what they recommend. By doing this, you're dealing directly with the people that actually make the converter. You may have to go to one of their dealers to buy the converter however, but now you know exactly what the company says to use. A billet converter can in some instances ( drag racing for example) be a worthwhile investment. You can ask Hughes about that, but if you're not into drag racing, I can see no reason to go to the additional expense for a billet mounting cover. JMHO
On the cooler, yes, add one to your cooling system. Past experience has shown that with the addition of any high stall converter, a transmission cooler is a smart decision. The best one to use is the radiator style made by Long Manufacturing. They are sold under a variety of names, including B & M and others. The old fin and tube style may be cheaper, but not as efficient as the radiator style.
