I6 T/C STALL SPEED

[krash kendall]

As some may know, my car was poorly converted to a 302 by a previous owner. I have remedied all safety/suspension problems and have upgraded the power output.

The engine performs very well above 2700 RPM but really gets bogged if I try to get moving in a hurry. I have no doubt that the T/C is from the I6. Is the stall speed on it very low compared to what I should have for adequate street performance? I would like to have a little more confidence when I pull out to pass someone from a slow speed. Currently I have to really feather the throttle to prevent the engine from revolting against me.

Any help would be appreciated!

Gear ratio? Cam specs?

I think the stock converter will be about 1300-1500 with the six, but if the same converter was used, the stall may be higher with more horsepower.

The six converter won't bolt up to a 302. If it did the starter won't fit. I think i6 converters have the starter ring on the converter. Plus i6 would most likely have a higher stall speed.

Thanks. The ring gear is on the flex plate, so if what you're saying is correct then I have a V8 T/C. I like to know my own evil, but since I've only had the car for five years I'm still on the learning curve as to what previous owners have or haven't done.
