Good catch Dave!! I forgot all about the crank flange!! Thanks for pointing that out, I can't always recall everything. There is an adapter for the TF to BW crank flange, but not the other way around. To mount a BW flexplate and torque converter the ridge on the TF crank needs to be machined off I'm sure. I don't know of anyone who has put a BW trans on a TF crank, so I'm speculating. It might be possible to modify the flexplate -- the ridge may not interfere with the converter.
