Turbo 350 to lq4. I know this has been asked a million times but I'm still not getting it. I have a 99 lq4 that bolting a turbo 350 to. The flexplate I have is flat and looks like it normally took 6 converter bolts. My new converter is 3 bolt holes. I've seen that if you have the dished flexplate you need the spacer. So if I'm getting this right my flexplate should be fine without a spaced because it's flat. Right? for the converter holes do I just open up the holes a bit? Thanks guys!
You may have an engine that had the longer section on the rear of the crank
instead of using a .400 spacer-if you rem the flywheel, see if the back of the crank is sticking aprx. 1/2 inch past the rear seal-if it is, your converter should bolt right up and seat in the crank
if it has the .400 spacer, you can sometimes tell because there will be 2 threaded holes on each side of the FW, they are used for rem the spacer from the crank
80E, 350, 400, 700r used pretty much the same snout/pad mtg distance, so the all can share the 80E flywheel setup
