I think you are missing the little aluminum spacer you are sopposed to have from MAD to use the LFP lower quick change with the stock NA harmonic balancer...it obviously still bolts up but according to Mike you still need that little aluminum spacer

looking great though!

Also if you havent already gotten a water pump I would get a NAVI water pump...I got it with the spacer from MAD and mike truck stays right at 170 (he also reccomended a 170 degree thermostat) with a stock radiator.

no you dont have to. you can use the 4r70 but I would atleast get a shift kit and a larger cooler for it. then start saving up for a rebuild.
