Reactor, TCI and Meziere all make SFI approved flex plates for an LSx.

FYI....Make sure u grind the coating off around the bolt holes. I just had mine come loose and it made some horrible rattling noise under the car this past weekend. It happened after I was messing with the trans brake, but im still kinda pissed about it. The bolts are still tight with blue thread lock, but the coating chipped off around the bolts so it created a gap between the FP and bolts.

thanks for the tip, so can a flywheel from a 4l60 work with the 350 turbo?

You can make a 4l60 flywheel work.. but it's not pretty. Hughes also makes a nice SFI approved one for th400/th350 swaps. ONe thign to rember though, all teh aftermarket flywheels make more noise with teh started then the factory ones do.... nothing that's bad, just something to be aware of.

Hughes one is a relativly inexpensive piece as well. I got mine thru eastside, adn I know it was a good bit cheaper then the TCI one was.
