If the torque converter bolts on a 1995 GMC 3500 with a 350 engine aren't lining up after an engine swap, it could be due to misalignment of the torque converter or the flexplate. Ensure that the torque converter is fully seated in the transmission and that the flexplate is properly aligned. Additionally, check if the correct torque converter and flexplate combination is being used, as variations in part design may also affect alignment. Lastly, inspect for any obstructions or damaged components that may prevent proper installation.

Rotate the engine by hand if necessary to align the bolt holes, and then securely fasten the torque converter to the flywheel with the appropriate bolts. Finally, double-check that the converter is not binding and that it spins freely.
