Default 6.0 to powerglide ???

I'm building an 89 camaro with a 6.0 out of and 03 express van it was originally mated to a 4l80e I want to mate it to a powerglide. I've read numerous posts on this as far as using this flywheel or this spacer etc etc.. However I'm still a little confused. On summit when you type in the hughes flywheel number it tells you that you also need there spacer. I need to know what I need as far as a flywheel or spacer I know the two will bolt together no problem.

if the 6.0 came with the flywheel from the 4l80e it may have the spacer some of them were adapted like that I believe? don't quote me on it though

I have a PG mated to my 05 6.0 and my motor came with a spacer on the flywheel and its the factory stuff. Everything went smooth but I think the spacer only came on certain years. Check your flywheel if it has a spacer behind you should be ready. Maybe someone else will chime in that knows what year they started putting the spacers on.

My 02 Lq4 came with the spacer on the flywheel, unfortunately I scrapped it on Monday. Sorry.

That would be sweet seeing a new flywheel is $200 plus. Thanks for the quick responses I'll have to check and see if I have the spacer already.

With the adapter, you use a SBC 1pc RMS flexplate. If you have a 6.0, you have the spacer. Only 99-00 6.0's did not have the spacer, but it was cast into their crankshaft

I ended up using the stock flywheel and spacer had to oval the holes to get the tc to bolt up. My problem is I think I still need more of a spacer cause my torque converter is not seating all the way into the pump????
