I have a TCI flex plate with what i was told is the proper spacer. What size bolts do i need to bolt it to the crank and the converter to the flex plate? Does ARP make the proper ones? Any help is appreciated.

What converter do you have?

I have one that was built locally by competition transmission in Buffalo NY.

Here are a couple pics if it helps

Also, here is the flywheel and spacer i was sold from someone on here, not sure how all of this is supposed to go together haha

Spacer goes on snout of tq flexplate bolts to crank. But it looks like your tq has a long snout on it so you may want to try it without the spacer or ask the builder.

Agreed. It does look longer than the standard GM pilot. I think that is LS. What is the measurement from top of pilot to pad? I imagine a grade 8 7/16 bolt with appropriate nut will work. Get some new crank bolts as well since they are torque to yield.

I think its 5" (i am new to autos so correct me if i am measuring the wrong thing..



for what its worth here is the flex plate lined up with the holes on the converter

Measure from the top of the converter pad to the top of the converter pilot. The pilot does look long, but the pads also stick out quite a bit. If it is over .500" then it was made for an LS motor.

Chris, excuse my ignorance i am very new to autos, what is the pad? i assume the pilot is the snout that would face the crank? Thanks for the help!

Pad is the surface on the converter that bolts to the flexplate. Where the bolt goes. And yes on the pilot, that is the part that goes in the engine crank to center the converter.

Also when laying flat you want vertical distances not horizontal. As you took earlier

how does this look?

Looks like you'll need the pilot extender.
