You should be ok being that the lq4 already had a 4l80e behind it already. as long as the spacer is there you should be good. Im thinking the converter is just back in the trans as far as it will go. if thats the case there will deff be more than 3/16 between the converter and the plate. I think you are still good when the converter is pulled up against the flexplate though.

Im assuming you dont have it pulled all the way forward when its a 1/2 in away from the flexplate correct?

without pulling converter towards flexplate, i have just about 1/2 inch away from each other. so if i pull it out like it says, i would need about a 3/8 thick washer.

I had heard that the spacer needs to be on the crank side when using a flat flex plate. That looks like the case here.

the spacer is on the crank side

sory to hijack but my friend is putting a th350 up to a ls3, he has the flat flex plate and when he puts the spacer on the crank side the starter wont clear the flex plate ( as in it hits the nose). he is using a truck 6.0 starter is there something we are missing or what
