That's a good question, but apparently no. I did a search on using a smaller engine's torque converter behind an 8 cylinder. Apparently it's been done to achieve higher stall speeds. From the Google AI response:
In older vintage applications (like 1970s and 1980s Chevy Vegas), some hot-rodders used a Vega 4-cylinder converter behind a small-block V8 strictly as a budget trick to achieve a high stall speed for drag racing. However, this required specific legacy transmissions (like a Powerglide or early TH350) and was notorious for ballooning or failing under real street-driven V8 power.
