    Update

    I actually found a small c4 bell housing and it looks like the fix! Now if anyone has a separator plate that fits a small c4 i need one! Preferably a nice one with an inspection cover. Reply or PM me if you have one or know where I can find one, thanks.

    Don't worry i didn't crawl under there like that!:jack: nah, the converters ok, its just the bell housing that was wrong. I'll be using the 157 tooth flexplate and the same converter, just had the wrong bellhousing.

    Exactly:huh:

    That converter isnt going to work if it was bolted up to a 157 tooth flex and your trying to use a 164 tooth:16suspect

    I'm sticking with the 157 tooth flexplate, and a smaller bellhousing, i had the wrong bell housing all along. Before we thought i needed the 164 tooth but its not the case. thanks for looking out for me though.(y)
