Torque converter question

Hi I currently have a 318 and 904 in my 1969 Barracuda. I recently bought a 1973 340 and the guy I got it from says that I will either have to change the converter or add weights to mine, the reason being the 318 has a steel crank while the 340 has a cast crank. Can anyone tell me if this is correct? Thanks Bobby


a 73 340 is externally balanced...you will need a 730 340 balancer/damper...

and you will need either a b&m flexplate for 73 340/904 combo....or stock flexplate with weights added to the converter...
