You don't understand, the early converter has eight studs, about 3/4" long, welded to the face of the converter; (IOW, no flexplate) the bolt circle of the eight studs is the same as the bolt circle on the crank flange....to make the early converter work on a late crank flange you'd need the converter studs to be 2" long to go through the needed spacer.



And then you would need to figure out a way to install the nuts on onto the studs that are attached to the converter, between the crank flange and the block on the late model motor. Gene
