Gears and converter question

Building a 355 for my wife's 86 trans am that she blew up, the kit Im using is calling for a 3000 stall. Most converters I see are 3000-3500 stall speed, the rear has some pretty tall gears, I believe that they are 2:73. I plan on swapping the rear with a stock 10 bolt with 3:42 gears from a formula parts car that I have. What effect will either sets of gears have on the stall speed of the converter. What would happen if I just used the stock converter? I plan on t56 swapping it later on just want the car to run decent, not going to be raced much if at all.
