update.
got everything back in late tuesday, installed the spacer and 80e flexplate, got the converter spacing right, new seals, and a new shaft o-ring.
there was a puddle of tranny fluid on the floor after a minute of running it. this thing is going to be the death of me.
so tranny is back on the floor of the garage, I looked at it as good as I could while it was running and its coming out of the front seal. hope it doesnt run too much to fix, Ii'm going to take my 2 converters and the tranny to a shop on monday and have them find out what will work.

took the tranny in on monday, they put in a new front pump bushing and seal kit.
put the tranny back in today, it still leaks...
taking it to the shop tomorrow, i'm sick of pulling the tranny, i've done it 4 times now. I'm pretty sure my tq converter is somehow warped. dont know how, but thats gotta be it. brand new flexplate, brand new seals, i'm sick of this..

Holy hell, dude. I just joined to tell you this build is amazing. It makes me want to scrap my LT1S10. My truck looks like crap compared to yours!
Here it is, 4AM, and I just finished reading this entire thread. I am in awe of your attention to detail, fab skills, and paint work.
