I use Continental, I don't know what a street converter would cost from them. $1000 gets you a nice race converter ....
You really can't go wrong with a Coan, BTE, ATI, or Hughes (listed in order of preference).
The big thing is to be accurate when giving your info. The better the info you give the converter manufacturer the better they can build one to suit you. They will need weight, gear ratios, tire size, cylinder head data, camshaft data, carb data, pretty much a whole spec sheet for the car.

I hear the Coan name thrown around lots... Also, I'd assume they need the specifics on your drivetrain and intended driving useage as well?

Thanks for the converter info RR and tork. The current will do for the meantime but I'll definitely keep it in mind for down the road!
black z, you raised a good point! I won't know how the car hooks until this spring since the rear isn't in the car yet. Hopefully it digs alright with the new suspension parts, rear, and some stickier drag radials
