if i understand this right... I can use a 98-99 stock flexplate with a th400 converter with ls1 pilot extension instead of buying the TCI flexplate?

TCI flexplate can be had for $200

That is a good converter for the price $500

Th400 crossmember with tq arm provision is $195 from Yank

Why do you need an adjustable torque arm?

correct price on drivshaft shortening $250

A good th400 that will last under power is at least $1000 so at that your still at about $2000 which is great IMO.

We offer a billet aluminum flexplate that is sfi approved and we also make an SR series 9.5" billet nonlock up converter for the th400 that is 495. The flexplate is 289 and we pay the freight. The converter would be custom built to your combo and will have the correct pilot for the ls engine.give me a call and support the sponsors on this board.
