It is almost impossible to foot brake a vehicle to the stall of the torque converter. The resr end gear ratio 1st gear of this transmission and the brakes have a lot to do with it. If you could put it in 2nd or 3rd gear, then you might be able to foot brake it to the stall. Disconnect the plug at the transmission and that will give you a 2nd or 3rd gear start, then you might be able to foot brake it. Most torque converters are flash rated, which would be close to the foot brake rating (if you could get it) if it were not for the numerical torque multiplication of the rear end gear ratio and the 1st gear ratio in the transmission.
