My first thread guys, so go easy on me. I did a several searches regarding my question and seemed to have gotten conflicting info.
Here's what I've got.
I am trying to bolt together a 700r4 tranny (ser.# 3MK207D), to a 350 (325 hp). I have read from several treads that there should be 1/8" to 3/16" space between torque converter and flex plate with comverter pushed all the way into the tranny.
I have just a hair over 5/16". Some people say it's fine to use spacers, others say that's a no - no. What's a fella to do??
p.s. I had the tranny bolted to a 305, it worked fine but I didn't pay any attention to how much space it had.
The rebuilt 350 (Five Star Engine) came with the new flex plate(part # FRA-11 Pioneer Inc). I'm putting it into a 57 Chevy 210.
I'm new to this forum stuff, so I need all the help I can get!!
Thanks in advance,
