5.3/powerglide question
5.3/powerglide question ive got a 5.3 and want to run a powerglide. i know its been gone over and over and beat to death, but i just cant find what im looking for.
what flexplate do I use (5.3, 5.7, 6.0?, what converter do i use( ls based or one for a sbc350/p-glide)? ive read a bunch about spacers?? Do you need one? im lost.

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
what brand of converter are you running?
