Slant six dies in gear

Is that a lockup style converter? If so, could be locking up prematurely. Just a wild guess! Even if not, still could possibly be a transmission problem.
It is a lockup yes, just installed a few days ago. Wasn’t aware of the block and tranny age difference until I dropped the tranny and realized the new torque converter and the one for 1976 I ordered were different. Had to have one custom fabricated locally. Was thinking it could be a tranny issue just unsure as to what. The tranny fluid is brand new, as well as the filter and has recently had a band adjustment as well.
