I am putting a T400 behind my BB last night. I was bolting up the flywheel. first when't on the midplate shim then the adapter then the flywheel, I now need longer bolts and the distance from the back of the block to the flywheel is along way will the starer reach it? any one out there put one of these together?

I have not adapted one to a BB mopar but if you don't mind, I would like to give you some advise.

If you are using a full manual VB, doesn't matter if its a t-brake or not, make sure you measure the pressure going into the transmission cooler. T-400 are known to cause premature thrust bearing failures due to there inability to properly regulate the pressure into the converter. With a full manual VB, full line pressure will charge the converter(About 200 PSI) and thrust it into the crank. There are ways to fix this if you find this to be an issue.I done it myself on my Brand X stuff.

Sorry to get off topic but thought it was worth the warning.

Thanks for the tip the trans was built to handle lots of power so I hope the guy who built it regulated that.
Any body else have any thoughts.
