I have a question, I'm trying to mount the torque converter to the predator motor exactly like you did, but that is that thread pattern on the back of the Predator engine?
The bolts that came with it, don't seam to fit, it feels like it's cross-threading the cast engine block.
I've tried other metric bolts and nothing threads in (by hand) more than 1 turn. I don't want to just wrench them in, because I don't think they will evr come out.
Did you have any trouble with the threaded mounting holes on the Predator engine?
Thanks
