I can't tell you specifically which torque converter to use, but I'd stick with the stock lightning 5.8 torque converter. Your stock 5.0 converter will stall higher due to the increase torque of the 5.8 motor, which may be too high, but it will depend on your gear ratio.

You might want to consult with a B&M or TCI rep on what their recomendations are given the motor, gear ratio, and weight of the vehicle.
