Re: whats wrong

You kind of lost me on the bellhousing swap?  I would replace the converter
with a 2000 stall & a 3.91 ring and pinion.  Now if gas prices are not to
much of a concern (Not a daily driver) a 4.56 would be the ideal setup!! 
Have you tried colder plugs, advancing your timing or rejetting your carb? 
When you had your converter rebuilt did they ask you what application you
were going to use it for?  They could have rebuilt it for gas mileage and
not performance, that would explain so slugish.
