Swap question
So the 302 automatic in my truck has 2 bad cylinders. I bought another engine that is extremely performance that was in a manual car. My question now is I don't know anything about the cam so how do I know if I need a stall convertor? My thinking is just get a new cam. Any ideas?

the stall on the converter depends on the intended use. as for the cam, if the PO didn't inform you on the specs, good luck. also you say its in a car, so if its really high performance chances are it wants higher rpm which isn't really what you want with a truck.

The truck is an 84 non fuel injected. The engine is coming out of a 73 mustang. This is just going to be a street rod with no intentions of racing it. My trans guy said it shouldn't be a problem since I'm not racing it. He said the stall converters are mainly used when racing because of the power ranges of the cams. I guess I could always pull it back out and put a stall converter in there if its not right. Its all fun right?
