Had any work done to your engine?Asking because 2800 on a stock donk may not give you any real benefit performance wise....you may even go backwards in terms of performance and fuel economy.
In terms of fit up you'd be looking at probarly around the $300 mark as long as your box is in good nick and hasn't seen too many km's (transmission fluid is gonna hit you the biggest as you should flush your box as well it takes a fair bit of fluid to fill up the new converter and then the box itself).
Another good idea for added insurance is to get yourself a decent sized transmission cooler because your stall is going to generate some extra heat and this is the biggest killer for auto's.

He's pulling your leg - get yourself a light truck oil cooler (pretty big) and it will do the job nicely , you can still route it through your radiator and keep that fluid nice and cool. I wouldn't pay more than $150 - $200 for one , you should be able to pick one up from anywhere that sells aftermarket go-fast goodie's! Just be sure to mount it free standing and don't be tempted to bolt it to your radiator (90% of kits have long screws that go through the fins to mount it) as you will lose the cooling effectiveness of your radiator as well as end up having to shell out for a new radiator pretty fast. If you don't have any luck finding one just PM me and I'll get you in touch with a few people who will do you a good deal.
Also have you had any work done to your motor????

If you do look at a cam and lifter change make sure you get something that is going to work with your converter (coming in at 2500-2800). Had any luck with a cooler? Make sure you post some Dyno figures when you get it sorted , sounds like your on the right track to having a nice streeter with a bit of poke .......if your finances can handle it (shouldn't cost stuff all) get your inlet manifold port matched to your heads and the same with your exhaust - something often overlooked but definantly worthwhile in terms of gains all round (HP , TQ , fuel efficiency , tunability , exhaust scavenging).
Good luck with it all and keep us posted
I have a 2,500 stall and this is the size cooler i have always run. I have had bigger stall convertors and have always run the same size cooler and have never had a cooling problem, and yes the car sees plenty of street miles.

Mines probarly twice the size , not saying yours isn't big enough because it obviously works as you've had no drama's , the only reason I went for that size was piece of mind but there's no reason why a oil cooler of that size wouldn't be up to the job. Nice clean install ch7472.
That's the kind of setup you need TUFENF - again stand alone and not bolted up to the radiator so it gets plenty of air flow and doesn't stuff your radiator or impede it's need for airflow.
