Speeds website, in the description of the flexplate, specifically states it will work with 4L60, 4L80, TH350, and TH400. With that said it should work.

I know a few guys that are using them with LS style converters and they seem to be fine. The problem is they are labeled to work with multiple bolt patterns, but they only fit the 3 Lug LS1 4L60E's. If they fix there website I think the problems would go away.

That's very reassuring, I have one of those flexplates and a Circle D stall to go with it.

Greg, will your flexplate work with a stock 4l80e converter? Also, if so, it would require the spacer Im assuming?
