I need to pick up a torque converter for the 383 stroker I'm going to drop in my 72 K20.

I've searched the web, talked to mechanic buddies, and called a few manufatures... and I've gotten so many differing opinions on the correct stall that I'm more confused then when I started—I'm hearing anything from 1800 to 2500.

So I thought, why not post the question here and see if I can confuse myself even more.

Here are the specs:
1972 K20 3/4 Ton
Stock suspension, with 33's
383 Stroker
Cam: .050: Roller (.495/.502 Lift & 218/224 Duration, 110 Lobe)
Gears: It's got a stock rear end, and I think they ran 4:10 or 4:11
Don't plan on racing, just hot rodding around town.

Any input would be greatly appreciated!
