    does anyone make high stall torque converts for these trans?

Unless your building a car only to race, high stall converters are a bad idea. With that said, Ford FMX converter should work, as the FMX is a 3 speed Ford-0-matic.

An FMX converter is not a direct bolt-in on a FOM.  The FOM has to have the 29 spline input shaft, not the 17 spline.  If it has the 29, then the FMX front pump has to be used, it's a direct fit.  Then there is the front snout, the Y block or flathead snouts are different sizes than anything later that used an FMX.  It becomes a custom built converter, any way you look at it.  But it can be done.

There are custom converter shops that rework your converter.  A converter re-manufacturer might do it also.  I have one local to me.
