Default 5.3 flexplate on lq4 to Mate 4L60E
need help!! About to drop the 6.0 in for a second time. It is a 2003 lq4 6.0 going into my 2002 Silverado 1500 with the 5.3 and 4L60e. Do I swap over the 5.3 flexplate? And if so which way does it dish out? As in which direction does it face the transmission?


Thank you you in advance, need help ASAP

Yes use the 5.3 plate, dished side goes away from the trans.

Make sure your engine didn't have a .400 spacer on the end of the crank which would have been used on a 4L80E.

Thanks y’all, engine is in and there was no spacer as I fully tore down and rebuilt the engine. Everything went smoothly

Will a 4160E bolt up to a small block 400?
