Default stock stall speed is?

been reading and trying to decide on a stall speed for a converter. Question is, what is the stock stall speed? all the numbers mean nothing to me without a base number.

Stock stall speeds for C3 automatics are about 1300 rpms, give or take 100 rpm.

This can be trickey, but the 1300 rpm "C3 Stroker" mentioned sound's about right for the engine torque/curb weight you're working with. If running a fairly low rpm torquey street engine, best keeping thing's maybe 500 within stock, or could feel like an unresponsive slusher around town. If a 7500 rpm strip build, then a whole nother story, but don't expect much satisfaction for street cruising.
