Transgo seems to be the most popular shift kit around. As for the torque converter, make sure you match it with your camshafts operating range. I'm currently running a Dacco converter. The whole setup shifted very nicely without any issues for the mile I took it out for lol.
If you don't have a wildly rebuilt 307 you don't need a converter. A stockish 307 with only a three speed transmission won't like a 3.42 very well either. A 3.08 would be a better gear choice for the olds 307 & a 3 speed.307's power band is from idle to maybe 4,000 & it likes to pull not rev so the 3.42 would have it past its power band at freeway speeds.
Just get a cheap factory D5 converter from a Monte SS, 442, or GN. Your engine just doesn't really need much converter.
