318 vs 360 Rebuild...

If I'm right, you're suggesting between 2000 and 2400 stall right? For street use, would a 2200 work good? I really don't need to launch, and I do need come up to speed a bit before the converter locks, so I'm thinkin' 2200 may work for me. What do you think?
2200 would be fine. Getting one specifically made for the cam specs and your vehicle is the trick. I have several contacts for converters at performance automatic, and ati.

The converter literally pulls off with a yank in 2 seconds if the engine is out.

You have alot of chefs in the kitchen on the ignition stuff. But for my 2 cents. The OEM type box isn't my favorite. I would go cdi box, or ready to run distributor. If you are "upgrading" your ignition., then still utilizing a mopar box that has the fail point of a ballast resistor isn't much of an upgrade. Imo of course
