I went with a continental ls1-to-th400 converter. Didn't have to drill new hole, elongate any holes or use spacers. I am going to get the tci flexplate just for sfi cert though.

Yeah, it is the same bellhouse bolt pattern except you only use 5 of the bolt holes. The only thing is that the ls1 crankshaft is .400" shorter than a genI chevy so you need a spacer or a converter built with the correct face plate.
