Ly6 flex plate for 4L80e My Ly6 currently doesn't have a flex plate and I m looking to mate a 4L80e to it but I'm unsure of the flex plate and spacer needed. Can anyone give me a part number or direct me to where I can find what I'm looking for please? Thanks.

If you're ordering the converter with those specs. Then it is fine.
If you custom order a converter, they can make the bolt pattern match the dished flexplate and they can make the pilot longer so you don't need an adapter.
But, if you're just ordering a "normal" 4l80e converter with nothing custom, the pilot won't engage without the spacer. And the bolt pattern won't be right without using the flat flexplate.

For starter ring gear placement
Flat flexplate with spacer between crank and flexplate
==
dish flexplate with no spacer
==
dish flexplate with spacer after the flexplate
so yea, your gen5 camaro starter should be perfectly fine.
The differences in starters are the size of the body and clocking of the solenoid. and some models have 2 long bolts and some have a long and a short. So, just pick whichever fits the chassis/trans bellhousing you have and it should be fine. Ring gear placement is the same as far as I know
