Do I need a Stall converter?

The engine that is in the car is a low compression 318 with a hughes whiplash, I am replacing it with a completely built 340. I am not changing the cam in the 318.
I should have read more closely. My apologies. Although a stock 340 converter may be "enough", IMO, there are way better choices than 50 plus year old technology, especially where converters are concerned. Keep in mind a camshaft's lift has very little to do with converter choice. The duration and LSA however is what should be considered.
