Why do all the extra work when you can just lside the new converter in while doing the motor swap?

you're going to be on the ragged edge of "satisfied" with that - keep in mind it may not stall the same behind the LS1 either...

yeah im expecting to get around a 2800 flash with the ls1. money isnt tight for me right now, but i dont work much during the winter months because of school and need to keep some money put back to make truck, insurance, credit card payments. also, check out kevins 60' times on a smaller than recomended converter. i might be happy with it but probably not. maybe somone has a 3200 layin around they feel like giving away

My TB stall works ok with the TR230/224 cam. Every now and then usually when cold I get a shudder feeling coming to a stop. I don't think its the convertor though because it never seemed to do it before, I'm leaning more towards my tuning than anything.

Will the TB stall work! Of course it will do but you would benifitgreatly from a bigger. I think a 3200 would work great and you would love it. I had a 2800 stall when I put this newest cam in and it plain didnt cut it. I went up to a 3500 and all is well now. I think a 3200 would be great for you. Good Luck!
