Default T-56 to TH400 swap need a converter

Alright so here is the low down. My car is a Procharged 347 ls1 made 687rwhp and 590 rwtq through my t-56 last year. I am making a swap to a TH400 with a Trans brake. I am also making some changes to the motor by changing heads, cam and intake. Probably gonna leave the pulley size where it is at for now but I will probably change that by the end of the season this year.

The car is a 50/50 Street Strip car. And went 10.33@136mph with a 1.61 60'

The car makes Peak torque around 5200 rpm. Makes 500rwtq by 4200 rpm and torque and horsepower curves cross around 5200 rpm. I know things will change with the new setup but I think things will be fairly similar.

Looking for what convertor and Stall size I should go with.

I think I am gonna pick up a 9" 3800 ATI stall from a buddy of mine that was originally for a Turbo car and has low miles. Should preform well for now and I can get it restalled if I need

yeah about 45min to an hour away. I know I can call with the serial number. I know it does have the antibalooning plates and stuff too. He said he would give me the serial number to call and confirm if I wanted.

I have a PI Vigilante 4400 Stall Converter for the Th400/LSx setup. It has 300 miles on it and comes with one free re-stall. I'm selling because I'm converting to a built 4L60E. PM me if interested
