He's using the PTC converter, which the cover they used here utilizes a 7/16" bolt. More than likely the flexplate you received was still setup for the M10 converter bolt which is smaller in diameter.

Lol I can see why you have trouble with things you don't check them beforehand.

Getting there, just need some flat bar to bolt the shifter bracket down and the driveshaft. Hoping the shop can have the shaft done by Thursday. Also need to get the brake button ordered.

Shifter installed and mounted. Picked up the driveshaft this morning. Just need to put the tranny mount in and wire up the cooler and transbrake.

The build is complete. Drove it around town today, and I am VERY happy with the results. Tranny is EXTREMELY form on the 1st to 2nd shift, 2nd to 3rd...not quite as firm. The converter feels a bit mushy, but it does exactly as it's supposed to. Car feels lightyears faster now than with the t56, hopefully it's not just because I haven't driven the car in 4 months. Got home and put it on the brake for the 1st time, it went 5200 and made 16psi almost instantly. Here's a vid.
