Will I require a torque converter? How will the drivability and idle be, and what kind of valve train upgrades will I require?

I'd do it. With tuning, idle should be nice. It will run fine without a converter, but don't expect to have better take off and 0-60 times. A trailblazer stall or larger will make a big difference. At least comp 918 springs are needed, with 7.4" pushrods a good idea.

i'm looking at mid-late april for the install. I'm trying to determine what ancillary stuff I will need to do it. Its my daily driver, so it can't be too wild.
