Which torque convertor should I use?

[youtheotube2]

Ive settled on getting a tc because id rather pay the extra $50 or so instead of getting a clutch for $100. Being that I know little to nothing on torque convertors, which one do you recommend? The factors I have are cost: I dont want to spend more than $200 on the whole thing if possible, and engine type. Ive got a 16hp clone with a 1 inch crankshaft. I dont have a jackshaft yet so that doesnt matter.

Either 40 or 500 series.

i have a 40 series on a slightly modded 420cc clone.......works great. provided you dont over gear it and then get stuck in the deep mud with 2 people on it ! LOL !
how big are your drive tires?

11 inch right now, im thinking of getting some 20"

If your going to get the 20", do it before you set up gearing. The shift from 11" to 20" is massive, in terms of engine work load.
