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.

Just call Circle D and tell them what you have and what you want to do. They make great recommendations for whatever you need.

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.
