Stall/Cam Matching. Needing some help

In case you guys haven't noticed, i come up with about 20 useless ideas each day and only a few make it to the drawing board after i throw them at everybody here for suggestions.

Anyways, I'm building an iron block 5.7L to replace my tired 4.8L with a bad cam and lifters. I don't even know the first thing about selecting cams to match stall speeds or vice-versa.

Heres the specs that i have, but i have no idea what stall to put in,

GVW: 4390lbs without spare tire on 10 gallons of fuel
Trans: stock 4L60E with corvette servos
engine: 5.7L stock crank and rods, 5.3L heads
Camshaft!!!: 220/222 .581''/.581'' 114LSA (Crane cams)

this camshaft was included in my donor engine for the 5.7L and its in great shape so i'm re-using it. If you guys have any suggestions i would sincerely appreciate it. i really have no idea how to pick a stall. . .

Perfect for 4.10's and a 3000.....4.30's and a 3400-3600 if you really want it to go.

i have a 224/230 581 588 on a 114lsa with a 3000 stall and the stall is a lil to small might go 3400 or 3600 in a 01 RCSB. so a 3k might be good for your cam u got there...

I agree with all the others. I will be going with a circle d 3600 when funds permit.

You guys and your stall converters, pansies. 3 pedals are where it's at

I would dearly love to have a 6spd in my 02 rcsb. . . but it aint gonna happen, the cost of changing over to manual is astronomical compared to just installing a 3k stall and an HD2 Shift kit. With just those two things i will have done a world of good compared to what i have now(stock tranny with vette servos) so i'll be sticking with the auto trans, but i also have a 64' Chevelle Malibu with 4spd on the floor that came stock with the HO 330hp 327ci. seriously considering a fuelinjection retrofit on top of a 383ci sbc for that

Sorry bro I was asking the guy above me. He's a funny Canadian that likes three pedals and six cylinders. Of course I like the 4.3 too because I have so many miles on mine....
