Torque converter or no?

2200-2400 tight is what comes in a dodge truck with a tow package. We had one behind a 340 in a 72 Charger. It had a hard time spinning factory spares with 410 gears. It went 14.96 . Installed a used 3000 I had here went 13.40's. If it is fuel economy your after install a 318 2bbl.

Ya, definitely not after fuel economy, just make it a more pleasant "ride"
