I picked up a torque converter today. I ordered the flexplate in the auction above back in April. The flexplate and the torque converter do not have the same bolt pattern.

The old flexplate I pulled off of the 194 will actually bolt up to the torque converter, but as stated earlier, it does not have the holes for the alignment dowels, and is quite a bit smaller diameter wise than the 292 flexplate.

What are my options?
Remove the alignment pins and use the 194 flexplate? Does it matter that it is smaller?

Get a custom torque converter made that will match up with the bolt pattern on the flexplate?

btw... that old auction isn't listed anymore. I believe this is the same flexplate, being sold by the same seller:
