Excellent video with extremely useful info. I appreciated the explanation of the needed measurements to validate you have the approximately 1/8" space needed behind the converter. Also, validating the piloting of the converter and alignment to the flex mounting holes is a very good tip.
Great video. If you cant tell if the Torque Converter is piloting into the crankshaft, use grease, machinists blue, or even lipstick as a depth/engagement guide. Stay gold.
My converter sits flush against the flexplate when gearbox is on. I need to machine the pads or flexplate or a spacer between the block and gearbox to get the proper clearance?
My aftermarket flex plate measurement is right at .9250 and my converter is at 1.025 which only gives me .100 clearance, can I take the flex plate to the machine shop and have them machine down the back of the flex plate mounting flange .070 to get the necessary clearance ?

Thanks so much. Those measurements help tremendously
Yep some good info here. I built my 4l80e with all your hard parts and circle d converter. Checked all measurements and everything was perfect

Very helpful, Thank you

So what is the fix for this, just buy a new flexplate? I have the exact same issue on both a brand new TCI and Scat flexplate.
And also check end play in the motor. Need to through that in there also.

How do I know what size converter I have is it marked some where?
