Default th400 swap question

im getting parts lined out and am just about ready. this is what i got so far. fti lvl3 th400, fti 4000 stall w/ls pilot, tci flywheel, arp bolts. its a forward pattern valve body so gonna use stock shifter. is there anything that i need to still get? will i use the spacer that came with the flywheel? just curious what had to be done to reuse the driveshaft with a 10 bolt?

I didn't see it listed in your mods or in your list but you would also need a trans cooler, lines, cross member and a dip stick... if you don't already have them. I'm not sure about the driveshaft. I'm wanting to say that my factory six speed driveshaft was shorter than the PST driveshaft that I had made. I do not know if the auto diveshaft will work.

The converter we built has the long pilot on it so the crank pilot spacer is not needed!!

These guys are the only company I buy torque converters from! They are the best in the business and they have outstanding customer service.
