Here's a good thread over at LS1 Tech about the crank, flexplate, spacer, nonsense. Are you using an aftermarket converter or the stock converter from the swap?

Thanks for the link, I'll check it out. Motor is a stock LQ9 pulled from a wrecked Escalade. Torque converter is not stock, but is basically a stock replacement. It was spec'd by my builder using his preferred supplier. Flexplate is correct and the torque converter spacing was dead on at 1/8". I'll read through the link to see if I'm missing something.

I mounted the torque converter to the flexplate during lunch. Pilot fit nice it bolted in without any issues. I'll check the runout when my wife can give me a hand turning the motor. Simply spinning the flexplate by hand moves things around too much to get any sort of accurate reading.

Runout at the torque converter drive shaft just behind the pump drive slots is about .005". Hard to get a reading because the flexplate sort of flops around and my dial indicator mount wasn't the strongest. Seems like Torque Converter runout isn't my problem.

Thanks for all the input so far.
