crank spacer preferance question
i need to buy a crank spacer and realized that the gmpp spacer has hols for mounting but the hughes one doesnt. what is the differance and is one better than the other? also can a standarn bolt be used to mount these or do i need the gm bolts

almost positive you need the gm bolts because of the extra depth the spacer makes. either that or a arp bolt that is the same length, but I dont know those numbers.
On the spacer question, I've used my gm spacer , flex and bolts for about 2 months now, and everything is great.

what trans-some use a .400 spacer bet the crank and flywheel and the flat flywheel, and need long bolts-i have a part # somewhere, or order for a 2004 3500 van w/4l80e
a 350, 400 4l80e, and 700r trans will work with this combo
i think if you have the dished flywheel, and not using a 4l65e, that will work with the hughes spacer bet flywheel & converter, but not 100% sure

I recently found out that there are two flex plates for LSx motors., A dished version, and a flat version.
Two questions: 1.) What application is the flat version used on, trucks? 2.) If I bolt on the flat version to an LS1 without a spacer, will the flex plate hit the cover plate screws on the back of the block?
I'm considering a special trans adaption where I would need to get the flex plate as close to the block as I can get it without it hitting something.
Thank,

My LS1 is from an '01 Camaro, and it has the dished flexplate.
I can machine a custom starter block if need be. Still wondering whether or not it will not rub on anything?
