Got a friend who got a deal on a Yank converter that is for a TH400 and small block Chevy. He has a TH400 and had a converter with the LS TC pattern. But the converter is junk. The new converter does not match up to the flywheel TC bolt pattern. How does everyone feel about elongating the holes to accomodate the new converter instead of buying another flywheel to make it fit? Thanks.

VERY VERY BAD IDEA


do it right, or dont do it at all.
sell the Converter for a SBC, and get one for an LSx

Do NOT try to Modify the Flywheel or try to find one that will convert to an SBC converter, GET THE CORRECT CONVERTER.

over the years i have found FW's/converters sometimes dont match up like they should, and have had to "clearance" them-main thing is that the crank snout is registered to the crank, then the holes are matched to the conv.
actually some fact. FW's come with elongated holes-holes should be a little larger than the converter bolts to eliminate "bind"
using a stock 4L80E FW i have had to match up the holes a little, but as said the converter/crank register will dictate proper hole alighnment
