    Stall Converter with Stock 6.0 Eng.

    Well I found a TCI 3600 converter on Ebay that was never used and its 1k new from Summit...
    so instead of finding a stock converter for now i just went ahead and put it in.
    Will there be a problem running a stall converter with a stock engine?

    Nope. Shouldn't be a problem at all. Have you had the tune updated for the new TC?

    Nope havent even got it running. Ordered the tune this week.

    Oh and the 4l80 will be manual shift, no PCM control. Reason why is I set this up for my carbed 383 then I sold the eng. and trans and bought the 6.0

    Go figure if i want to put it back, i have to install a new VB.
