Pro-Tour Heavy Chevy

Ok I'm getting conflicting info on just what I need to connect my 5.3 with the dished flexplate to my TH200-4R transmission. I already have the regular Torque converter and the GM Flex Plate Spacer and Bolts. Do I still need the 6.0 Flat Flexplate? Or do I just bolt the spacer onto the back of the engine and be done with it. And What about the Hughes Torque Converter spacer, does that require a different flexplate as well. What has worked for you.

X 2....I would like to have this information also. I've read conflicting advice.

I found this with a little more searching around. Looks good to me.

You asked this in another thread. Here is the answer that I gave you:

If you have the dished 5.3L flexplate the spacer goes on after it and supports the hub of the converter.

Like this!


If you have the flat flex plate put the spacer on first the flex plate.
The flat flex plate has the spacer on the fwd side facing the crank.


Make sure to elongate the holes to match the verter.
Use the spacer to center flex plate to the hub to drill

You know, you are correct my friend and I apologize for the rhetoric, but the following posts state my case on the conflicting info...
