Default converter mounting question

I have a PRO YANK 3400 EXTREME converter and wanted to know if it will work with the stock flex plate? It is a 6 bolt and the flex plate has only 3 openings. Will this work?

What do you do drill out the other 3 holes or buy a new one with all 6 drilled??? Any idea how much power the stock flex plate can handle?

Depends on the year of the car. Newer cars have a weaker flexplate. I've heard of stcok powered cars from 01-02 breaking them.

Only use three of the bolt holes on the converter.
