When you bolt the bellhousing up to the engine you should have to pull the TC forward towards the engine a bit to get it to touch the flexplate. Just make sure you have your flexplate on the correct way.

That deep transmission pan might not clear the crossmember, but you won't know until you go to install it.

I was just getting ready to ask if the converter should have to slide a bit towards the flexplate when bolting it on. Thanks for the reply!
