2000 stall converter

[Ronald Weishaar]

Will I be all right with a 2000 stall converter behind by 340 with a 509 cam?

It will work if that's what you mean... you might wanna post the rest of your nfo though like weight, gear.. desired driving style that sorta thing..

I would go bigger, the fti 9.5", you can't even tell it's a higher stall til you stand on it, really nice to drive. I have a 3200 right now and a 3800 waiting for my next motor..

(PTC is also good at a good price, FTI was a joy to deal with though.. so they got my business)

Probably too low of a stall (?)

To me you will be right at the bottom end of your torque curve. Once it bites you will drop below that curve at take off.
A factory 11" is pretty close to that 2000 number.

I looked at the FTI web site and it appears they are GM guys. I'm a Dynamic guy but, for street use, almost any major brand will work.

Not sure how they are gm guys when the make converters for ford/gm and mopar... they would be fools to not make gm tc's though.. why do the smallest market segment when you could actually grow and make money?

I saw no reference to Mopars?

It's in a pull down on the top

Look up stock specs in a FSM. Close to 2000 rpm

Will you be alright? Sure, it will run and move. Will it be a good combination as far as sharp performance? Not at all. A 509 is a fairly large cam, for a small cubed short stroked motor. Throw an extremely small 2000 converter, and you have a package like a turbo waaaiting to get into the torque band.
Factory stall with the small factory cam was like 24- 26 or 26- 28

In a word, no. Something in the 3000-3500 range is what you need. What rear end ratio do you have? If the combo is mismatched the performance will be underwhelming…
