Yup, a stock 1600-1800 stall would be fine..
but a 2400 stall converter isn't all that bad..
But yup a 454 with small cam.. why give up any of that low rpm to slip..

one must remember the converter rated stall speed (on the shelf converters)
are with a basic 250-300hp 350. A big block 454 will stall the same converter higher because the torque it makes .. So at 2400 stall converter behind a 454 can end up stalling at 2800 or more..
Now custom built made to order converters.. a 2400 stall will stall at 2400 if you don't fib on the tech form..
