I've just put the engine back in the Z and I am in the process of putting the prop/exhaust etc back on. I am trying to bolt the torque converter and fly wheel back together but when I turn the engine to move the flywheel the torque converter moves as well, how do I stop it turning so I can line up the bolt holes??

Doing that but the torque conveter moves as well so the hole never line up?

You should be able to sit the TC on the centre shaft lip and get a friend to help rotate either the TC or the crank to help align the bolts, once you have located the threads on one the rest are easy.

Take the starter off and turn the flywheel through the opening and also hold the converter to stop it moving
