    You could take your flywheel off and drill it if it will mount to a flat part of the flywheel. If three holes line up with the existing holes you can put some kind of paint or transfer material on the new locations and then bolt the convertor to the flywheel to transfer the hole locations. I would first contact the manufacturer of the convertor to find out what they were thinking. Maybe they expect you to use the three that line up and call it good? GM had six bolts for some reason.

    Hi James, I got your PM&#39;s, I&#39;ll reply to those as well.

    Your first converter had 6 bolts and everything went in fine, there is no reason this one should be different?
    Same manufacturer right?

    see ya,

    YEA SAME MANUFACTURER, BUT HE SAID IT IS THE BOLT PATTERN OF THE NEWER LS1/ls2 with the 6 .0L. IT LOOKS LIKE THE CONVERTER FITS 2 DIFFERENT MOTORS THE LT1 WITH A 4L80E AND AN LS1 WITH A 4L80E. YANK SAID THE FLEXPLATE I HAVE IS THE OLD KIND, AFTER THAT YEAR THEY MADE THEM LIKE THE CONVERTER THAT I HAVE IN THE BOX? I DO NOT KNOW? I MAY BUY A FLEXPLATE AND HAVE IT MACHINED ON THE BOLT PATTERN SO I KNOW IT WILL WORK.
