I've also heard the peak torque rpm on a Pontiac 400 is around 2300 rpm so the best torque converter for this would be one that is around 2000-2400 rpm? Of course it may not do much good getting an aftermarket 2000-2400 rpm stall speed torque converter unless you have a limited slip or positraction rear end.

Converter stall and Lock up are two different things and TH400's do not have "Lock up".
