Default Power glide and a 5.3.

What does it take to make them play together? I am looking to install one behind my 5.3. Thanks.

Call FTI. They can get you everything you need or at least help you out.

Found this on anoter thread... "you will use a LS flexplate and in your powerglide you will use a turbo input shaft so you can run a 350/400 converter (the beauty of a turbo input shaft is that it is thicker than a powerglide input shaft so its stroner) but you will have to have your converter mounting tabs set up for LS base flexplate. Im running a powerglide behind my 6.0"
