Default TH400/3600 stall in a DD?

I was wondering if anyone is running a th400 with a stall in their daily driver. How does it run? Is it annoying or is it comfortable? A friend of mine is giving me a good deal on a stalled 400 'cause my 4l60e is starting to die on me . I need to think about it because my bird is the only transportation I have. Will this combo kill me on gas? What do you guys think?

depends on if you get a good converter. I have a 3400 in my GN right now and its not noticeable at all. Only because its a very effiecient converter. Im in the process of putting a th400 in with a 3600. Just make sure you get a good efficient converter and it will be fine.
IMO

It will kill you on gas. No way around it without overdrive and lockup.

With the 3.23 gear it won't be bad on the highway.
I was running 3.73s with a 26 inch tire and I generally kept it around 60 on the highway, about 3000 RPMs.
Mine is not a daily driver now. With the TH400 and 4.10s with a 28 inch tire driving it everyday would put me in the poorhouse within the month.

If I just drove around town and such, very minimal highway cruising I'd hands down have a TH400in my car, but I travel too much so M6 FTW for me. Ill have a auto back in my car one day.
