hey guys
i just swapped a 496 and a turbo 400 with a 2500 stall converter in my elcamino.
i need to to swap gears in the rear to finish up this car. am i correct in thinking that i have to select a gear that will be turning at least 2500 rpm at my desired highway speed or else the converter will never lock and ill burn up the converter and transmission?
with a 29" tire at 65 mph a 3:42 or a 3:53 will put me in the ballpark.
thanx
chris
