Looks good. I understand the concern on the converter issue, however for my car that much "work" on the tunnel is too much. I did have a question though. The Flexplate you got is it SFI approved, or just a re worked stock one? Do you have any pictures?

I would have never spent that much for this car, but I switched to a liberty 5-speed in the drag car and decided to use this in the SC. I tried selling the kilgore, but it wasnt going to sell unless I lost my ***, and I could not justify not using such an impressive piece of equipment. AFAIK i will be the first to try one of these trans on an import motor.
This trans is supposed to be good for 1000+ hp. He told me a 3400 lb car is running in the low 8's on this trans.

I can run a SFI flexplate, but the one I got is a custom piece from boostwerx. I believe I can run any SFI GM flexplate if I wanted to though with DaveH's adapter.

The DaveH adapter kit is $750, and uses a stock GM torque converter and toyota flexplate. IDK where you got $3500 without the transmission, thats kinda inflated by $1500.
