Well baised on your cam and compression your converter is good. Sounds like you have a carb issue. The cam on the accelerator needs to be changed and possibly bigger squirters. Hard to guess not being there.

Its a mild lenati voodoo cam which is a 64501 standar base circle 484 intake lift 507 lift on exhaust: Duration 213.050 on intake. Duration on exhast is 220.050. Lobe separation 112. Cam installed 0 strait up. Has Headers has a EDL performer rpm air intake. The car has a quick fuel 650 double pumper (similar to holley just shiny and has glass ports to see fuel. It has a 2500 stall converter on the
1972 727 tranny. Its a dog out of the hole even if you power brake but comes alive at 3000 to 3500 rpms. I also ended up with a stranger problem. when I first got this new motor back it made a metal to metal lifter noise (lifter not pumping up tappin noise) at first it only did this in initial start. Now it does it when ever I start motor. unless I just hsut it of and start it back up. They said the reason It does this is the cam oling system they put in it bleedes down and has to pump up. I have a bulltear oil pump plate that blocks the return bypass up. Is that really usefull or is it causing this probelm. It has a TDK v8 oil kit for timing chain. a MDK oil kit for main bearings. The motor is a 360 from 1970.Rebuilt It has 8.05 to one compression. 4.110 boar. Stainlees steel valves. Has a suplimental oiling kit according to engine build ticket.
