904 and stall converter q’s

Had my car in the shop to try and stop the leak that makes a mess of my garage floor. I was told by the previous owner that it was the front seal that leaked. I had the seal, and I also bought a converter from a member here, that says it's a 3000 stall converter.

We pulled the tranny, pulled the pump, installed new seals and gaskets. Put in a new filter and pan gasket. Installed a small starter from a '98 Dodge truck, sure takes up a lot less room.

Got it all back together, started her up and it was making a whirring noise.

Does a high stall converter generally make a whirring noise? Or is it something else that I should be looking for?

And, does a 904 normally have a bolt-on yoke? It's been a couple decades since I've had a 904, so I don't recall the design. It also seems that one of the previous owners has bastardized the driveshaft. It appears to have the front of a Furd shaft welded to the body of a Mopar shaft.

I didn't take my camera to work, as I didn't know I'd be putting the car in the shop. I'll take pics on Monday.

So, who's the guru of all things 904?

TIA, for any and all info.
