So I'm getting closer to actually finishing my engine swap to a 350 mild mod daily driver and when we pull out the old engine and trans I'll be putting a shift kit in and the TCI lockup kit along with changing the torque converter. My buddy that's helping me suggested a 2000 stall converter but before we get to that point I wanted some opinions from you guys. Is that too much for a daily driver? I don't mind a little poorer fuel economy but I'm in no way building hot rod here. Just putting a newly rebuilt engine into an old car. I want to have fun driving it but want a very "streetable" feel too.

What do you think?

my friend has a 2800 in his and i have a 3000 in mine. 2000 is safe to run

A 2000 stall is not too much for any SBC. It's very safe, very driveable, and feels slightly better than a stock converter.

you could go a little more if you want, correct me if i'm wrong but the stock stalls were somewhere between 1500-1900

I've seen stock stalls from 1200-1500, watching tachometers, not going by advertisements.
I'd suggest you try driving that 2000 for a while, and try to find a ride in something already fitted with a bit more stall. Best to sample someone else's investment, right?
