Hmmm... .857 NARROW FLANGE crankshaft. Any problems with this working with a glide or turbo 400? I read somwhere on here that I needed a different flange crank .875?
Seems to me all I need is a flexplate and LS to TH400 converter

OEM 6.0 Head gaskets and arp bolts...studs it ya wanna spend the $$$, but it all depends on how much boost ya wanna throw at it. 15-18 should be no problem with a good set of bolts.

yeah this is just a budget setup to play around with a turbo on a stock shortblock. May try to push it to 20lbs for a couple passes.
Got two lm7 shortblocks on a good deal so I gotta backup hehe.
Thanks for info. Didn't know if Ls9 head gaskets would help or not.

There's a Youtube video of a silverado 5.3L pushes it up to 24lbs. it's a dyno vid and supposedly is crankin 2000ponies ,,,,,,,course it would'nt last too long but a cpl passes should be no problem depending on mileage of You're engines.
