You can order FD to EF converters from SRB Giturn, as you say they have an element in them which, if I recall correctly, has a magnification of 1.6. Obviously manual focus and presumably manual aperture set on the lens which would mean exposure via the shutter speed for a sort of shutter priority.
Have not used one myself, but these chinese ones have had very mixed reviews for hi res digi use. Canon's own version was much better, but was intended very much as a stop gap to try and stop the pro's moaning about having to ditch their F1's to get Eos1's (back in film days!), AND then buy new big glass.
