Lightbulb Stall speed

Hello All,
Another question. I'm putting a beefed up C4 behind my 347 stroker motor (being built) The Ford cam calls for a manual transmission. For many reason, mainly foot box room, I am going to use the C4. I haven't weighed my car but I assume around 2500 lbs+-. I don't know what stall speed converter I should use. I'm also guessing I have a 3:50-3:70 final drive Ford 9" rear end. I don't anticipate any track use. Just for cruising, but with the ability to hold my own with almost anything. Have had suggestion of 3000 , but I think 2000-2200 would be better.
My engine should put out 450 HP. I want to be comfortable cruising the freeways at 65-70 mph. I will put a trans and oil cooler on the car.

Thanks in advance,

Larry Harris
