Stall converter

statehedgehog · 07-11-2006, 11:05 PM

I am reworking the top end of my 68 302. I am planing on putting a 292 Comp Cams Magnum Cam in. Comp cams suggest that I use a 3500 stall. That seems really high to me. Do you guys think that I can use a little less or not. Motor info: 302, 20 over, flat top pistons, 10.5 compression, 302 heads (cast) 2.02/1.60 valves s/s, guide plates, Hardened push rods, magnum rocker arms 1.6 (Comp cams)
Auto trans, 3:80 gears in the rear.
This is a street car / track for fun!!!

3000-3500 would be fine... it doesnt take that much RPM to move the car if you werent sure about that. And the actual stall will vary depending on engine torque..

I use a 3000 stall TCI Street Fighter on my 306 with a CC 268 EXE (268/280 or 224/230 @ .050") and 3.25/1 gears, and it's just about right. I would take the tech advice from CC and use the 3500 stall for that 292 Magnum.
