i had the same problem with the same converter. i hoged out the holes. i used a die grinder with about a 1/4" carbide tip and just sloted the holes out a little till it fit.

i called my tranny guy and PI and they both told me to hog out the holes. i think 99% of the load is on the hub section. PI told me i could order the 99 and older flex plate or something like that, i guess they were duel drilled for a couple of years.

use the adapter to center the flex plat on the converter as you hog out the holes. that will help you check your progress.
