The converter experience you had reminded me to point this out...You don't have to spend $800 + to get started.
Case in point:
I had a reader here from NM contact me about a 245 mm converter he bought at a swap meet for $50.
It was nothing fancy...just a starting point. I was able to raise the stall up considerably , swap out the stator, and spot weld all the non - furnace brazed fins for a couple of hundred bucks... It would work well for a 302 ,C4 Ford project to get it under the index.
Look around, ask around..See what's out there...I don't charge anything to cut a converter open and have a look.

I have a couple of cores for this idea for cheap...
