torque converter setup

Hey y'all, I need help again please. I really hoped I could have got my truck done and join in on the la grange fun tomorrow, but still ain't done.

New to me tranny isn't completely like stock (no mounts for stock control linkage) and came without a bell. I had to use my old bell. Anyways now I'm using the torque converter that came with the tranny, and there's a big gap between the flexplate and tc. With the tc close enough to flexplate it's no longer engaged with the pump.

Can I stack on a new mounting pad on old pad to compensate for gap? Which will require new bolts.

Find a way to get longer bolts or order them, as more it seems the bolts are a odd size and hard to find.

Or any insight, all help is welcome. I really miss not being able to drive my taco.

 

Yikes !!!

Sounds like you have an electronic controlled transmission .
Did you get a good deal on the transmission ? can you take it back and get one with a bell housing ? I dont believe you have the correct transmission

300 for it. Sounds good to me. Fresno tap didn't even have it at all, that's why I unbolted mine kept it to reuse. That's what I'm starting to think too, only good thing of it is all the electronics are plug and play only. Thank you, I went thru it.

I'm seriously thinking about the welding new pads because most people use spacers to fill the gap.
