Don't go cheap on the T/C..... Check summit racing, they occasionally have some good deals.

You can use the Torque Converter from the 318, unless you are upgrading. In that case I would call PATC.

Precision of New Hampton makes great TC's. They do stock to custom TC's. MonteC speaks highly of them. http://www.gopnh.com/

Last month I swapped the tranny from my 98 w/318 into my 2000 w/360 without issue, and I plow some with it. I think it's the flex plate you are talking about. Which does need to be the one for the 360.

i think you should get the 318 and build a monster... imo a built 318 is way tougher than a built 360 regardless of the numbers either motor puts out. dont put boost to
it boosted motors dont last.. build all motor.
