I need to get a torque converter.
I read that stock stall is 1800 to 2200 rpm.
Is 2200 to 2600 rpm too much for an eb?

33's, 4.11, 351W, C-4.

With that 351 your stall will be higher than it would be with a 302. Stock converter would be fine.

I'm seeing prices all over the place.
What should I expect to pay for a quality stock stall converter?

I would expect to pay less than $100 for a rebuilt one.

A lot depends on your camshaft and overall gearing. but for the most part a stock converter should suit your needs fine unless your cam is really big.

I run 1800 and like it.... Feels stock but I thought stock was lower, like 1200ish.

I run a b&m 2200 and I am very pleased w the performance. I am running a 500 lift 351 cam in my 302 and when I put it in drive you don't feel a jerk from to low of a stall.

I run a lower than stock stall with my 351W. I notice some loss in acceleration on the street (still plenty of go with the 351W), but like how it works off road, even have some some compression braking. Before that I had an Art Carr which was useless off road for most things, but fun on the street.
