So you didn't notice how big the converter bolts were beforehand? FTI converter bolts that they Supply with their converters fit my 98 flex plate just fine. Only thing I needed was that pilot extension.
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.

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.
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.
