Exclamation what size stall do i need for my c6?

i'm going to buy this cam and all the info i know about it is. doesn't say what size just high stall. and the big question is what size is high? it's a 460 going into a 77 f100 reg. cab long bed. almost all street just a fun toy so to say.

Lift: .563/.588
Duration: 300/310
Duration @ .050": 234/244
Lobe Separation: 112 LC
Lopey idle, Good mid-range power
Rough idle quality - (Note: Intake vacuum may be too low for power brakes, etc.) Good mid-range torque in 3000 - 4000 RPM range. Good mid-range power operating range 2200 - 5400 RPM. Average fuel economy cam not recommended for towing. Increased compression ratio best, 10.5 to 1 or 11.0 to 1. Some engine modification required. Use manual or automatic transmission with high stall converter. Recommended spring pressure 120 lbs for valve on seat; 300 lbs for valve open. Axle ratio at 3.90 to 4.50 to 1 is best.

The info in your cam description gives a torque mid-range of 3000 to 4000 rpm. I'd start with those parameters for a converter stall #. Much less than 2800 & the combo will probably be a real dog until it reaches 3000+....

If you change the gears to 4.11 or better, you might get away with a larger converter [~2500 stall] which will run cooler on the street.....
