Need help with TC /flexplate install

I'm feeling better about it now. Got the 10" flexplate, enlarged the holes to 7/16" and mounted it up. Used blue loctite. Mounts perfectly to the TC and crank. I was getting worried about the TC fitting the trans as it didn't want to drop in. Finally got it to clunk in. Got my engine dropped in and have about 1/8" between the TC and flex plate. I haven't mounted the 4 TC bolts yet as I was too busy getting the motor mounts bolted and the headers in place.

Here is a comparison of the old bolts from my converter and the new arp bolts (the old ones are shorter than 1/2", figures). Night and day difference.
