Default 200-4r to LQ4 help

Well it bit me again....

Last year I ran:
Bone stock 200-4r with a bone stock convertor. This was bolted to an 03' LQ4. In between the 2 was a 4l60 (dished) flexplate and Hughes spacer, ran great!

This year:
Had the 200-4r professionally redone and got a 2500 stall torque convertor with the exact length specs (restalled stocker) as the stocker. Same flex plate, spacer, and engine.... bolt it in and with the convertor all the way back on the tranny is 1/2" from the flex plate! Whats going on here, basically the same setup and now a huge gap.

I have looked this over numerous times and cannot find where the difference is.

Anyone else have this problem?

If I pull the converter forward I am worried about disengaging the pump.

converter is different unless you measured both and got exactly the same.

If you still have old converter, do they fit the same?

straight edge and thin stiff wire with a L bend at end can be used to measure the distance from back of pump drive lugs to bell housing face.

Then you can see how much engagement you have.

Rechecked everything and reinstalled the tranny, I am at 3/16 of an inch now.
When I placed the convertors side by side I could lay a straight edge across both
