Will all trannys bolt up any special mods or spacing problems and do the converters bolt up to the fly wheel or is a special one needed?..Which motor mount plates should I run ?The regular ones or the 1.5 " set back ones?Thanks....

if the engine came out of a HD truck, it will have the spacer already, you will need a dual bolt conveter or th400 bolt pattern.

Ok so lets say a 350 transmission would bolt up np problem ...to the engine and the converter would work with the flywheel only if its a truck one ...tahoe,escalade,silverado..? Is the wiring a nightmare also ..?

He's talking about a Heavy duty truck, i wasn't aware of what he said...Everything willl line up except one bolt and it wont be used ,no big deal on a 350 style transmission...Couldn't tell you on the wiring im running a carbed setup...

if you get all the wiring, and computer it isnt too bad, My brother did my harness, from the stock 200 wires and cut it down to around 60 total. A carb is way easier.
