Default Flexplate for LS/Powerglide

I am wanting to put a 6.0 in front of my powerglide/350 converter. Does anyone make an aftermarket flexplate that will bolt up to the LS motor and old transmissions and converters? I know a lot of people use the 6.0 spacer and stock flexplate but I am worried about strength, converter fitting in the crank and the starter not reaching if I do that. What is the bast way to do this?

I found this today. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/HUP-HP4004/
Will I still need a "spacer" for my converter with this flywheel?

Yea, I have seen a few flexplates for the LS to old tranny but I am still not sure if the flexplate alone is ALL that I need to do it.

buy the tci flexplate it comes with the spacer...or buy the hughes flexplate and then buy their spacer....or just run the factory flexplate and enlarge one of the bolt holes a little and buy the spacer...there is 3 options off the top of my head
