Guys running th400

Any of you running a converter that was not custom built for an LS1? I'm planning on doing this and need to know where I can get an adapter to act as a spacer between the converter and flexplate or some ideas what you guys used to keep the converter snug against the tranny.

Thanks

from a local gm dealer. i cant remember what i paid exactly but it is more than i had expected. for a "spacer" i was expecting less than 15 bucks but i think it was over 50.

some people say its dangerous to run without one so i would suggest you get one or have a longer "nose" welded on to your converter.

oh and instead of trying to explain a "th400 in an LS1" just tell them your running a 3/8" rear motor plate and need the converter "nose" extended 3/8".

TCi makes them like that, and I believe so does Yank. I ordered one from Fuddle and I will how I like it when it comes in and get it installed.

Well I already have the converter it's just not setup for an LS1 it was actually intended for a BBC but never got installed. I'm starting to think that crank spacer may be the way to go. What all does the installation of that require? And it's just a "6.0 Crank Spacer"?
