    a hughes adapter and slot the holes in the flexplate. Or a GM flexplate spacer and longer bolts. The spacer goes on the transmission side of the flexplate.

    Where can i get the bolts? Im going to go too Summit tommorow to get the adapter, how much longer should the bolts be? And is it the flywheel or torque converter bolts that need too be longer?
    Sorry for all the questions im new too the chevy world.

    I think his question was quite on topic, and the answer could only benefit other people that search this thread. You both got the answer you were looking for. WIN-WIN-WIN

    After i installed the adapter the tranny still wouldnt bolt up. I removed the transmission and found out the converter wasnt all the way back. After making sure the converter was all the way back we mounted the tranny without the spacer and it worked perfect. The converter lined up perfect without the adapter.
