This may be the missing piece of the puzzle anyhow, the 383 makes good power once the cam comes in, but is a dog off the line (I'm sure the wifes minivan will take it off the lights, at least until I get to 2000rpms..). Once the revs are up it pulls hard, chirps second and goes. There are 3.55 in the back right now but they whine bad so I just picked up a case with 3.91's in it, that'll help but I think I should give a call to Dynamic...
Thanks for all the input!

Dynamic will make just about any convertor that you want. And yes, they can make it for the the early splined input shaft. But you will pay more for that option. Jimmy On 5/29/2011 3:46 PM, Jay wrote:

Let's try again....
My 64 Windsor (Newport) Convertible originally came with a 361. At sometime in it's life the 361 was replaced with a 1966 383 2bbl engine. Then a weiand 4bbl intake, Holley 750, and headers were added, as well as a cam.
I don't know the specification of the cam, but it is fairly lumpy, in that it has that nice lumpy cam tone out the exhaust when in gear. I have to set the idle at around 1000rpm's, so that in gear it doesn't stall out.
Question is this, when I put it in gear from park, it engages hard and pulls the rpm's down to around 700. Would this hard engagement and large drop in rpms be possible due to some sort of tranny modification (shift kit, line pressure or spring change) or is it more a function of the torque converter?
Once again, any insight would be appreciated!
