2400-2600 stall preferably, and prices range considerably

driveability should be just fine with a stall below 2800, above that, in my opinion, the transmission wont feel quite right
it'll feel like its slipping (which it is actually), and its unnerving

I can't believe noboday else has brought this up yet. There is a reason the six speed cars all had a dana 44 from the factory. It's stronger and can take the abuse of the six speed trans better. If you put gears and a convertor in your car with that dana 36 you will break the rear end if you ever get traction. You might as well put some skinnies on the back and drive it around because with street tires and 3.54's and a convertor the car is going to do nothing but fry tires from a dig. Put street slicks on it and it's not if the dana 36 will break, it's when.
