AK-Z Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 I don't think its a good idea. You will throw it off balance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue72 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 I'm sorry, but I can't understand your question. Is there a way to rephrase it using correct punctuation? You want to weld bolts to the torque converter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AK-Z Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 can you weld bolts to a chevy torque converter Thats the only part that I understood, so I answered it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwi303 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 the next question is why would you want to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezzzzzzz Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 A picture is worth a thousand words. What I'm getting out of your question is this adapter allows you to bolt a 700r-4 (typically fitted to 90 degree V6 and V8) to a Chevy 2.5 (60 degree pattern or sometimes called an inverted T). How thick is this adapter? Is it cast aluminum or a thin piece of steel? I can only assume it is steel. Are you using the stock flexplate for the 2.5 and trying to use the stock convertor for the 700r-4? It may be as simple as using the proper convertor found behind the 2.5. It may be that you need to use a V6/V8 flexplate if it will allow you to do so (clearances and starter engagement come to mind). My guess is either convertor is dimensionally the same in depth and will engage the input shaft/pump drive of the transmission but smaller in overall diameter. You may need to head over to a transmission shop or junk yard to do some comparisons. That said, I don't know what you're talking about when refering to welding bolts. It should not make any measurable difference if you drill new holes to mount the larger convertor assuming all other dimensions allow for proper engagement of the transmission input shaft/pump drive. Lastly, there MUST be a 4 speed auto transmission to fit a 2.5 engine that would make everything easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
