New for this year running front and a mid plate.. I am being told i don't need a spacer for the convertor with this set up because the mid plate is only 1/8 think. Motor and trans are not in the car yet and i know i will have to check it to make sure. Just wonderingThis message has been edited.

Easy enough to mock it up to check out of the car. ____________________________ 2017 and 2018 Osage Casinos Tulsa Raceway Park No-Box Champion 2018 Div4 Goodguys Hammer award winner | |||

I didn't need anything added to the snout when I ran a .090 steel mid plate. I did when I went to a 3/16" plate that I have now. It can be borderline on the 1/8" plate so that is why I posted what I did about mocking it up. I wouldn't want to be installing it in the car based on someones guess unless it was an answer from your converter manufacturer. I would still stick it together before hand.

If the combo was fine before when you didn’t have mid plate then it sure won’t hurt to use 1/8” spacer with mid plate. | |||

LOL i am going put it all in and check everything. Cars going through a rebuild. Was built and painted in 1993. Smith racecraft front end fiber front end and doors and new paint this year. It weighted 2975 with me in it before. "Just Shut Up and Race" Brian Martin Martin Racing 5.50 126 | |||

The only way you shouldn't install spacers is if you were at 1/16" or less before, which is unlikely. TAKE IT TO THE BANK!!!!! Later, Bill Koski | |||

This is an easy check once the trans is bolted up with the midpalate, push the converter as far rearward as possible, test to see if a 1/8" drill bit will fit between converter pad and flex plate pad. If it clears, the check a 3/16 drill bit. Your target is at least 1/8" but no more than 3/16. Add washers or spacers to attain the proper spec. Larry Woodfin | |||

Just make sure the converter pilot is still engaged in trans after it is bolted up, might have to put longer pilot on it, or snout, whichever you want to call it. | |||

there is a short answer to this,if it was right before it now needs 1/8 shim honesty is the best policy,insanity is a better deffense 1.036, 6.16@ 224 | |||
