Roger- when I was picking up some of the old parts yesterday I asked about the "heavy torque converter" comment. He said what he was referring to was it was stiff. I said I needed a little more explanation. Basically, the stall is too low. It's a Hughes Performance torque converter with a 2000 stall. We both thought that would be good but he said you don't really know until it's in the car and you're driving it. He suggested a little higher stall and then the car will get up from a stop a lot better. It's not that it's bad, it's definitely just a little sluggish. Hit 40-45 mph and jump on the gas and it definitely goes. Going from 50 - 60 mph takes very little time.
Compression is 10.5 to 1 or there about.
