    He's asking for a little higher stall than stock, not a "High stall". 

    Purchase the b&m converter and I guarantee it will feel and act as wallaby said. 

    Trust me, get the GM25 from Hughes and never look back. 

    My son's engine specs out close to yours. And as far as loosing engine braking, he still has it. Although he has 4:10s. 

    "Big Red" has engine braking also with a PTC "high stall" converter with 3:31 gears. Not like a stock converter but you definitely feel it and hear it. 

    I think I would have to buy new flexplate with that converter correct?I think mine is 10.50 and the hughes is 10.75,I think that's correct

    My Monte was pushing it when stopping at red light, after rebuilding carb and the problem went away as I believe it was related to vacuum issue.  Have you looked into your vacuum pressure?

    No,It started pushing as soon as we changed the cam.

    I have a 1972 monte carlo with 350,mild build competion 268/280 duration,477 lift cam,lifters,hooker long tubes,eldebroke aluminum intake,factory heads with new seals,springs,eldebrock avs 2 650 carb.

    When I stop it wants to push a little,I'm going to rebuild trans with b&m rv shift kit,I have looked at the b& m converter tork master 2400 ,I think it says stall is 2200 to 2800.

    I'm just crusing not drag racing but maybe take off hard once in a while or smoke the tires.

    Would that be a good choice of converter or is that too high,just want to get the most out of what I have and not go too high and mess it up,thanks
