Call Kenny Ford and tell him what the hey, it sounds like the converter is too loose. (no breakin time on a converter) He's easy to talk too and i'm sure he'll straighten it out. he may need more imfo on the engine,cam, and gearing, but almost everyone i know runs his converter, including my self for the last 10 yrs.
