whats the STR on the SS3600? you might want to look into a complete rear end anyway. the hit from a converter will blow a rear end just the same as dumping a clutch might be time to save up for a 9" or 12 bolt.

ya i wouldnt be worried about that stall with ur rear...ur not beatin the piss out of the car and id be more worried about the tranny than the rear lol. i know a few people running that converter and they have no issues what so ever.

ditch the used gears save up a little, if you plan on adding a converter and gears then do them together. or at most grab a better rear end. (and no pizza I'm not talking grab ass)
many would say opt for a cam too, but it's a lot to do at once.

I'd ask Don what he could do for you. He's got the ability to not only install all of it but tune it for you so you won't kill it.

i going to do the converter this year with an LS6 intake and P/P TB,shift kit and next year cam/head work
