Default 87 w150 chuggs real bad and dies when in gear

Hi, I bought my truck on 12/12/12 and I absolutely love it. However, it has been giving me some problems lately. First the carb quit on me and blew every seal it could and basically destroyed itself so I got a new one and slapped it on there. its the exact same thing its the original Holley 2280. it has always acted weird but now its really bad. when you start it and free rev it, it sounds like its pulling the world behind it! its just bogging itself out and wants to stall like its not getting enough fuel or way too much air like a bad vacuum leak. But, I'm also leaning towards stuck torque converter (its a lock up and its acting like its stuck locked in) or tranny issues because its doing it in park and neutral also. its the 727 original tranny if that helps. if you give it more than like 1/6 of the throttle is when it starts. im trying to give as much info as I can. so any help is appreciated. its my daily driver and I need to fix it asap!
thank you,
Grant
