66 convertible, 289 A-code, C4 atuo, with factory intake and autolite 1.08 carb, electronic ignition, 3.55 gears.If I do a 270s cam and headers, what would y'all recommend for a stall speed? I'm thinking 2400-2600? Would recommendation change if we switch to an AOD? Thanks,
Scott

If you aren't going to race it Scott, I would get a stock Falcon 11 inch unit.
You may even have one laying around.
It has about 2200 stall and that is plenty for a zippy street car. Won't murder your fuel economy either.------------------

Ditto. In my street car I have a Comp Cam 265/273 cam and Performer RPM intake on my 351W and love my TCI Saturday Night Special Converter which they advertise as 500 RPM above stock, whatever that is.I haven't bought a Posi set-up for my axle which seems to have 3.20ish to 1 rear gears and I can roast my rear right tire just fine. ------------------

Thanks for the replies!
No, I don't think this one will get raced.So for example do I look for 1966 Falcon with 289 and C4?

They used to be a dime a dozen at the junk yards or converter houses.
Very little demand for them as Falcons were down on sales.------------------
