    Are you sure it isnt an FLHB rather than FLBH? The FLHB converters are very common in a lot of non SC fwd transmissions such as the GP GT, non SC powered 3800s, and also 3400 powered cars.

    yeah thats the one, is it possible that it was or could be used for the 3.8 SC? or did i get a transmission that will not work for my application? i just dont want to stuff this thing only to have it blow on me or not work at all

    You could use that converter but will require drilling your flexplate for new holes/ elongating the existing holes / or getting a different flexplate to work with the smaller converter as the bolt circle is slightly smaller. My preferrence is to use stock SC converters in M90 cars. The converter is slightly larger which also gives you a larger lockup clutch disc and is more reliable with the added power and also has a great stall speed out of the box and will be more efficient on the top end. You can use whichever you want and either will work just fine and I just wanted to throw in my .02

    Those numbers dont do any good. If it is the correct sized tag where a stock ID tag is and is plain silver in color then likely when they washed the case in a spray cabinet the information was washed away with it and those numbers you gave were likely stamped into one side of the tag but dont serve of much use, sorry
