Hey guys, I'm in the final stages of my engine build and I need to get a torque converter.  Problem is, I'm on a budget and I have no idea what to get.  So here are my specs.  Maybe one of you can reccomend something I'd be happy with?  :icon_smile_big:

1973 440 engine
Bored .060 over
Compression raised to approximately 10.25 to 1
Stock heads
Intake valve enlarged to 2.14
Exhaust valve enlarged to 1.81
Cam = Voodoo Lunati @ 261/267 - .555/.556 (LUN-60330)
Intake = EDELBROCK  PERFORMER 440
Carburetor = 800 CFM Holley
Double roller timing chain
Stainless 1.5 Adjustable Rocker Arms
Headers
Stock Rebuilt 727 w/Trans-Go T2 shift kit installed
Rear Tire Size = 295/50/15
Rearend = Mopar 8.75
Gear Ratios available = 4.10 or 3.73  (Undecided on final choice, both available)
Budget = $300
Use = Street
Fuel = 93 Octane pump gas

Bonus Question:  Any idea how much power this setup will have???

Thanks!
