SB 727, all converters I have seen are the same for the B, RB, and SB 727

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Sounds like the holes in the flexplate are off, check that?

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
I had the same issue. Before installing the 904 in my Challenger, I bench checked and marked the flexplate and converter to make sure the bolts would line up. Everything lined up perfect and bolted together. Once I bolted the flexplate to the crank and installed the transmission, the one odd bolt was extremely hard to get started. I think the process of torqueing the flexplate distorts it enough that the bolts are all hard to install.

Hacksaw
I would normally agree but Brand "X" converter came out and Brand "Y" will not bolt up. Just a guess Brand "Y" might be the problem. But it will be installed. |

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
I don't know squat about Mopars but I ran into a FFFord once where the snout on the converter was just a tad too long for the back of the crank. It was just enough that you could bolt up the converter with no (noticeable) problem but it wasn't happy.
