I HAVE A 1972 340 DEMON WITH A CAST CRANK. I want to put a 1995 a518 tranny in it. This is a torque converter lock up model. Does anyone know what, if any, torque converter will work with this combo. Thanks Ken

Just in case you were unaware, this swap requires a good bit of tunnel surgery. See this sticky http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=178459

Thanks for the info I was worried about needing a neutral balanced or weighted torque converter. KEN

Gopnh.com has the converters for this application. High quality, inexpensive OEM high stall would be the cats meow. Enjoy the hard work, lol.

sO I SHOULD GET A WEIGHTED FLEX PLATE AND A NEUTRAL BALANCE TORQUE CONVERTER? Sorry for all the questions but for once I would like to get it right the first time. Thanks Ken

Nothing to see Here!
Yes. Older versions of the Flex Plate have weights. The newer ones have a 1/4 moon cut out on them.

I'd go with the B&M plate. Inexpensive and quick.
This leaves the torque converter. You'll still need a lock up unit. Get it in the stall you need. Once that is done, your good to go.
