Re: 5.3L GenIII /TH400 swap

You mentioned the spacer, and bolts for the torque converter, but you said you had to drill your own holes... GM Actually makes a flywheel that you generally use with the spacer and the bolts, that is a direct bolt on for old coverters... You just saved yourself some $$ though by redrilling your old one. Nothing wrong with that!

I'm building a 5.3 (w/ a T56) for my 68 Chevelle right now, but I don't anticipate it to be done for at least a year or two. The old 350 is fine for now.

That's amazing that you could do all that in a little over a week... I wish I had that much time, and patience. Looks like a nice clean swap! Excellent work! I can't wait to hear how you like driving it.
