Default which flexplate

I had a ls6 with a 4l60 in my s10 and now I'm swapping a 2004 lq9 6.0 in it. The new motor came with a. Flexplate with a spacer on it and my old one is just bubbled out. The picture of the one on the right is my ls6 and the left is my 6.0. What flexplate should I use?

Thats the LQ4 6.0L flex plate is for the 4l80 hence it being flat and the spacer. Just run the LS6 one. It has the three torque converter holes.

Also the LQ9 never came with the flexplate and spacer stock. Was it the one with the motor when you bought it? Or did they just give you one. IE are you sure you have an LQ9?

The curved one is what you want, but like mentioned. Might be a good idea to upgrade to an SFI version....
