I have a Yank SS3600 too and love it. I wouldn't even consider going any smaller than that especially with a heads/cam car. I'd vote going with a Yank or Vigilante in the 3500-4000 range. If I did it again Id go with a Yank SS4000.

I have an edge 3400 stall 9 inch converter, it is a nice piece, the only thing is my brother also had a converter built at the same time and requested a 2600 stall for his cutlass and they gave him the exact same converter. It seems like all edge converters are around 3400 stall

PTC - Performance Torque Convertors
Probably the best convertor for the money...have ran 2 of these in 2 diff transmissions...always responds well. If you dont plan on running NOS they are very very reasonable...for our cars you can get a NOS convertor for around 450 from them, I think around 300 for a non NOS convertor. They build to order.

Here is thier website for info, there are several sponsors on here that sell thier convertors.

Good luck with your selection!
