Flywheels are for clutches, flexplates are for torque convertors

There's only one way a flywheel or flexplate will bolt to the crank

The cranks come in both 6bolt and 8 bolt patterns. U gotta have the same number of bolt holes on the flywheel/flexplate too. N if they still don't line up, just keep rotating the flywheel, n it will line up with all holes eventually.

Nice build BTW!

Did you fully seat the TQ converter on the transmission before coupling the motor to it?

If your certain you coupled them properly dont sweat it. you should be able to turn it over with a pry bar. if not remove the plugs to releive some compession then try it again.
