1. Canon FD 300mm 2.8 don't actually need to be surgically converted to EOS mount, now that there is "Edmika" 0.5mm FD-EOS adapter available on the market.

Although reaching infinity focus isn't as straight forward as on adapting Nikon or Tamron, Canon FD will reach infinity with infinity calibration, as shown by Ed in this video:
2: Never tried the combination
3: I have once seen scanned 300mm 2.8 shoot-out article from one photography magazine back in MF days floating around on the web, let me see if I can find it again.
4. Although it might be bit over your budget, I think Sigma 120-300mm non-OS version is worth a mention. Ones in well-used condition seem to be selling around $1000-1200 range, but you will gain ability to change focal length, autofocus, and in-camera aperture control which you won't have from lenses you mentioned earlier. Obviously, it won't be as sharp as primes wide open, but it certainly isn't the slouch either.
