Torque converter issues

[Coronna customs]

I have a 10 hp vandgaurd motor it has a 1" shaft. I just got a 1004 gtc tc2 torque converter kit. I thought to be a 40 series!? But turns out it's a 30. Was gonna suck it up and use it but the problem is the mounting plate won't bolt up because the jack shaft housing is sticking out and touching the head of the engine. And if I try to angle it down to the next set of bolt holes it's tocuching the oil spout. Angled up or down the bolt holes won't line up befor it touches. It's like I need the mounting plate to be longer so as if the drivin pulley can stick farther back to clear the motor. What "40 series" torque converter do I need to correct this problem?! What to do?!

Is there room enough between holes to drill another set so it indexes where you need it?

If it will line up but the oil spout is in the way, what you can fo is cut the oil spout off and plug it up with a bolt. This only works if you have 2 oil filling holes. Supermannotorious has done this several times IIRK. I will try find a link for you

Here it is

There's no room to drill new holes in the plate. But I thought to just cut the middle of the two holes to make a slot?! But worried if the chain would pull it down?!

Can I turn the plate upside down so it sticks out to the front of the motor?! But it will put the drivin pulley in front of the driver pulley. Would that cause a belt issue?!

Nope. Still turning the same direction.

Yes you can turn the plate in any direction that works. I have seen back, forward, up, and down.

I took the advice and link given by landuse.

I just recently trimmed off the oil fill boss to fit a 30 series TC. Worked like a champ. I installed the dip stick while doing the trimming. I then left the dip stick (what was left of it) screwed down in there and used the tough RTV to slather all over it. No leaks.
