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


you guys are right. I was thinking of the swap to a new style trans [62 & up] to the old crank flange, not reusing the old trans. sorry.
