Fortunately you are in a stall range where the price is affordable. I know many transmission shops use a company called Dayco.
Keep old mopars alive.

Anyone familiar with B&M converters? I'm really leaning towards the Tork Master 2000...
So here are my options so far:
Pro King cr25l. $89
B&M 10416 Tork Master 2000. $260 plus $100 flex plate
Torco 764HD $177
After looking into it I've found that Torco is actually a really good company and make a quality converter... If this converter bolts to the stock flex plate I think it'll be the one...

For a 360-2 van pulling heavy loads I would go to a 12" converter...less slippage, less heat buildup.
The Dacco has the correct external weight and uses the stock factory flexplate but you'll have change from the 11" flexplate.

Had I known I would've expanded my search criteria... I actually just ordered the Torco 764HD with a stall speed of 1800-2100 for $195 shipped! They have a good reputation and for the price I think it was a good choice. If I had a little more patience I would've probably searched around a bit more but... I appreciate the info!

Does that converter have the necessary external balance weights?

I wanted that Tork master for my 727 behind the slant6 I'm building for my D150 until I found out that my current 727 is a lock up version, nobody makes/builds a converter for a lockup besides "stock replacement". The Mopar Reman line of converters are some of the best out there if they have what you need. When it comes to lockup they are the best, As close to new as you can get. You would be surprised what some of the aftermarket converters don’t get when they are built. Some get nothing more than cut open, cleaned, inspected and put back together.

Is there a website to check options, or have to call dealership? [/quote] A dealer with a good parts counter guy will be your best bet. I’ll see if I can scare up some part numbers for you. What application are you looking for ?

Does that converter have the necessary external balance weights? I really hope so! It says fully balanced in the description... No picture of the front cover...
