Mid Plate Questions

I know when I ordered my TC they asked about a mid plate and the thickness and made the mounts to compensate with their bolts too.

When I put the 512 in, I'll have a convertor built for it. In the meantime, I plan on running a stock 400 with stock converter just to get the car back on the road. I think I can just get away with using washers at the converter mounts.

As far as the starter, I'll probably just clearance the plate. I'd hate to shear one of the gears from lack of engagement.

Thanks guys.
