Your duration is not that radical. You can get by with a Corvette converter (2000 or so) but I would go more. A bigger (smaller diameter) or higher stall will make it more enjoyable to drive. If you get a locking converter it will be a joy to cruise with, other wise install the biggest tranny cooler you can find and stay around a 3200 to 3400 RPM.

2000 up to 2500 sounds about right. 2000 would be more streetable Vs. 2500 more strip.
