I would consider a 3500 stall is that 2800 a full size converter if so you will really like the smaller 9.5 , and yes setting up for lockup is a good idea .
Check ours out on our website and feel free to ask any questions ,
thanks

Not to mention that a non lockup 700r4 will overheat pretty quick.

Never heard of that one. But if you want any longevity out of your trans, you have to wire up the lockup. You can buy lockup kits to install the necessary electronics and such. Pickup a Summit or a Jeg's and you can find them in there if you don't already have the stuff in the trans. Any 4l60e converter will fit the 700r4.
