OK so the next thing I'm doing is swapping transmissions.

Currently have a glide.

I want to go with a 200R4 trans. Looking around at the local 'yards that's about $300-350. Shift linkage kit is about $30 (needed?).

What torque converter should I get? Budget minded (you know who you are..) and not necessarily for the long haul. Just something cheap to match up with what I have. The trans and torque converter are now the weak link in the speed chain.

200r4 because it'll drop right in. I can even get the bezel for the column shift for a whole $20. Trying to keep this swap cheap and easy if possible. If it goes well and the kick-down linkage is easy enough to adapt I might even rotate the carb at the same time. The only reason I haven't done it yet is because of the kickdown linkage. Can't find an easy way to change it without cutting, welding, etc.

...not that I'm opposed to cutting and welding.
