Yep, it should work. Can I ask where you got the torque converter? My only concern is that the stall speed might be wrong.

I got it from a friend that through a rod, so he pulled the motor.

When I started it there was a high pitch squeal, so I shut it off and checked to make sure everything was hooked up. After checking I started it again, still had the squeal until I shifted it into reverse and then into drive. Then it had a whistle sound. any ideas?

Hmm, the squeal makes me think it is a drive belt, they need to be tight on this car. Can you please shoot a quick video with your phone so we can hear the noise? That would be great. You can upload it here with your response. That way I can tell for sure.
