What budget torque converter?

Yep. Going back 4 pages to the first post by the OP, he has a 360 with a Voodoo 268 cam in a street car. I'm sure there are hundreds of 'off the shelf " converters that would work just fine for him.
No question about it. Nonetheless, I'd still recommend consulting with a good converter company, simply because there is always the possibility they might can recommend something better at a similar cost. The only reason I say that is because converter technology is evolving all the time.
