i am installing a 2004 5.3 in my 1970 k5 blazer.i got the spacer from gm for the crankshaft(because it was free!!)
trying to bolt it up to a turbo 350 trans.
if i use the stock 5.3 flywheel and 350 converter,the spacer keeps the trans from mounting flush.not sure what im doing wrong?anyone help me?
thanks in advance

You need to use the TCI flywheel.

Is your converter all the way into the trans?

In what order did you install the flywheel and spacer?

If your using the 5.3L dished flywheel you should install the flywheel and then the spacer behind it.

If you use the 6.0L flat flywheel you install the spacer in front of the flywheel.

It bolts like this with the 5.3L flexplate. The only reason for the spacer is to support the Torque converter.
