Is it just a race car?,, or is it occasionly driven on the street? It makes a big difference.

Like what Eric basically said,,,any manufacturer can set you straight after you give them all your specs. Ballpark,, I'd think with a 400 and a not too crazy cam,, I'd guess you'd be happier with something around a 4000-4500 stall 8 or 9 in converter, compared to something like a 5500 or higher like us guys with smaller motors ( 327s - 350s) use.
Pick up your phone,,,you'll be glad you did. Good luck with your project.
