You will need something as the standard converter will be designed for something much heavier than your car and will lock up waaaay too early.
I have a 2800rpm dominator converter with lock up in mine, it drives like an old statesman around town but livens up nicely when requested.
i haven't as yet but will talk with my trans guy a bit closer to when it's needed i run a 3200 dominator behind my trimatic in my dirt circuit car it cops a real flogging and works a treat , the ve the motor/box and diff came out with a 2.92 gearset but ive swapped the gears for a set of 3.27 that should liven it up a bit altho the ve i bought was running concern and was no slouch when i took it around the block b4 ripping the engine out of it all...all fun times ahead nothing so far has been a pain in the arse i printed off the 600 page manual and put it into 3 big folders all in plastic sleeves ..apart from a few bolts missing from the kit and the p clips that hold the brakelines in place all has been pretty easy to follow . talking with other blokes in there different stages of build helps as well bouncing different idea's off each other ..cheers dean
