hey,have 3400 stall on th400 trans,powered by 461 bbc,309 dur-540 lift,and so on,is it norm,from sitting still to any type of forward movement,right around 1800-2200 rpm?like trying to drive standard trans with clutch half way in.or is this another prob? 3:42 posi rear.

It's normal. A higher than stock stall like yours will feel "loose" at a mild rpm like that below its stall point, just takes a little getting used to. The feeling is more noticable on 3200 rpm and up stall converters.

Your stall sounds normal... one other thing that to keep in mind....as big a stall as you have and with your rear gear you may be getting some slipping still from your converter while at cruising speed. Make sure you have a great big tranny cooler. I burnt one up before because of that oversight.
