Default Transmission question

2200 to 2400 a good range for a torque convertor for my 89?
Engine has only zz4 cam and roller rockers ..been trying to catch up with Pete K
A guy was trying to sell me a 2600 to 3200 with lockup and for street use and said this would be fine?
(online guy winnerschoicetransmissionparts ) any body purchased from him?
Not sure what OEM was?

Pete K would be the one to ask, but he's been real busy lately... When I put one of his 383 motors into my 89, Pete told me to get a 2400 stall convertor. Also, Pete sells one of the best small convertors out there.. I believe Mike V ( Nuts4C4 ) and Ed (qws), plus several others are running one of his convertors with good results......WW
