i recently ordered a ss4000 and when i opened the box today i realised that i was sent a ss4000E instead. would there be any problems installing this converter, such as the 6 bolt mounting instead of 3 bolts, my car is a 98. i do plan to add a power adder down the road and i know that it will be better for that, plus im not out any more money since i was charged for the regular ss4000

thanks

you will need the 6 bolt flywheel.

 

When I was changing from the Yank Stealth 2600 to the PY3800E I noticed a crack in the stock flywheel. I bought a heavier '98 model flywheel and drilled the extra 3 holes in it.

 

so none of the stock flywheels have the 6 bolt holes already there, not sure if i should send back this converter and get the regular ss4000, this sucks!

 

It's very easy to drill a few holes. That's what I did when I installed a 6-bolt converter in my '00. It takes a drill and about a minute. No big deal.

 

I was always wondering if it was cool to drill into the flex plate. good to know

 

It always worked just fine for me running 9s with a transbrake. Hey, someone drilled the original 3 holes, right? No difference.

 

Thanks for the input everyone. do you happen to remember what size of threads need to be tapped into it, colonel. i just want to let the shop know as much as possible when i take it in. thanks

 

It's not threaded. The converter is.

 

I see that now, thanks Colonel. once i get it installed i will take a pic doing a burnout infront of the Kentucky Fried Chicken World Headquarters for ya. its right down the road.
