Just a few things from my experience. Make sure you test fit the converter with the flexplate bolted to the crankshaft to make sure the snout of the converter isn't touching the inside of the crankshaft or the weld at the base isn't touching as well. I say this because I unfortunately didn't think to. It resulted that the flexplate was unable to do its job and i wiped out my thrust bearing in abou 1000 miles. Just an FYI.
