U can use ur converter but you will need a crank spacer. GM has one and so does Hughes. You will need to oval out the bolt holes on the flywheel towards the center.
Im sorry, I should have made my post clearerQuote:

Just call Circle D and tell them what you have and what you want to do. They make great recommendations for whatever you need.
Chris answered your question on PT.net seems like the easy route would be get a 4l60e
No problem. Just call Circle D. He can hook u up with something.
i've had amazing luck with Transmission Specialties out of PA. their converter in my car drove amazingly well (as well as a 4500 stall can be with no lock up) and was super efficient with less than 3% slippage at the stripe. i highly recommend giving them a call and talking to Justin about what you're looking to do. i believe they're a bit nicer on the price than some of the other converter companies as well.
Ordered a converter from circle d
