I went to bolt up my flexplate and realized that there is about a 1/4" gap between my flexplate and TC. Im thinking this isnt right but someone care to confirm this?

spacers. but I think 1/4 inch is a bit much. I seem to remember there being a tolerance limit but not sure what the max is... I had to use spacers on mine too. I'll try and look today to see the size.
please do!! Thank you... I really want to get this thing bolted up today...

Got my cutoff flanges off of my old exhaust..
Mounted my Radiator and flexalite dual fan setup.

I am doing away with my EVAP system and i have this hose... it is on the drivers side.. looks like it goes back to the gas tank? How do you guys remove this?
Also got my grille put back on... to me this helps me feel like the project is moving along faster haha...
