Okay,this is my second try to post,first time it said I was no longer logged in,and what I typed disappeared. I hope you reconsider,your builds are fun to read about. If I may,might I suggest a way to bolster the torque converter area by bolting on the cover/shield from a chevy 4x4 ? In my feeble mind it seems that it should help by closing in that area,and you cold even polish it to look pretty! Hank
