[@AmericanSimracing]

Hey did you have to pound on floorboard to fit th400 into 2011 5.0?

[@negativesplits06]

Do you need a mid plate if doing this swap on a MT82 or can we just put the flexplate on first?

[@ForceEngineering]

You dont need a mid plate to do the swap. The decision to run a midplate is based on HP. You'll be able to run the adaptor flex plate and crankshaft pilot adaptor and be fine.

[@negativesplits06]

@@ForceEngineering Okay, thank you.
