New 408 for the Flyfish

Finally got the converter to fit!….It only took ~ 1.5 hours with some emery cloth and a “lazy Susan”. I put the converter on my wife’s lazy Susan and spun it while applying pressure with the emery cloth to the snout of the converter using a strap wrench. It was slow, but I removed about 8 thousandths evenly from the converter snout, and everything went together just fine after that. Motor and trans are hooked up, converter bolted to the flex plate, just all the little stuff to do now (headers, intake, starter, drive shaft, exhaust, etc.)….I’M IN THE HOME STREATCH!!


I have a lot going on this week, but there is a good chance I could start this motor this weekend :-D
