Well got the ARP torque converter bolts in and things went much smoother with them. I recommend getting nothing but ARPs when doing this conversion with the FTI converter. If you try to use stock verter bolts the nipple will bottom out and will be too long.
Before- using stockers:
After- using ARPs:
I didn't want to do the hack job to my slip yoke so I took it to a local machine shop. Not too shabby for $25 if I don't say so myself.
Even polished it up for me:
Cross-member cost me $70 to have cut and welded:
And don't make fun of my blue wire loom, it was all I could find at the time.
Got bored while waiting on parts coming in, being machined, and welded so I painted my drive shaft...
I broke my damn 4l80 dipstick tube so I bought a Lokar and am waiting on that to come in... I must say the dipstick was the most pain in the *** of this whole thing for me...and I've ran into several problems.
