We run in a pure street class . The rules say that we can`t run a power glide . A nova . What is the best a 350 turbo a 400 turbo or a 700r ? Can you push start a automatic ?

350 is the best. 400 is to heavy and 700 is not strong enough
and the only tranny you can push start is a glide with a rear pump

should I run a stock converter or a stall ? This is a dirt track car on a half mile high banked track . REALLY FAST .......

TH350 would be the best bet.

as low as possible. stall works good on street or strip were you need the cam to start working to come off the line. but with circle track you will be turning 4000 in the corner so stall would do no good so out a low stall as low as your car will allow 12-1400 or a dummy with a dump valve. we can build you one with a internal dump valve and a dummy converter that would put the most hp to the ground would be like running a 7inch clutch . if your rule would allow or you don't mind bending them.
