    Hopefully PaulS will chime in & tell you waht to do. If I had to take a guess. I'd say you need a flywheel. Maybe use the one off the old tranny.
    I could be wrong. I'm not that familiar with trans...

    Tell me if you can what the two transmissions were in originally....
    It looks like the one in the picture is from a V8 and the only C4s That had the ring gear on the converter were those from the 170 and 200 six cylinder engines.
