Flexplate compatibility I have a 2011 Gen IV 5.3 for my swap. The donor truck had a 6l80e but I am bolting this to a 2009 4l65e. The flex plate the engine came with is dished. Will this work for the 4l65 or do I need a different flex plate?

Wikipedia and I quote 😶
4l60e - 4l65e Differences
The two transmissions cannot be differentiated from the outside. The 4L65E shares the same exterior parts but have stronger internals such as 5 pinion planets compared to 4 in the 4L60E. 4L60E uses a 6.5" depth bell with 6 bolts for non gen 3 LS applications 👉 and a 7" depth bell with 7 bolts for LS applications. The 4L65E/70E uses a 7" depth bell and 7 bolts. 👈
They also have different input shafts and torque converters. (4L60E's uses a 298mm input shaft for non LS) 👉 and a 300mm input shaft for LS applications. 4L65E/4L70E uses a 300mm input shaft and converter designed for LS applications only.
