Will a 97 4l60e that was behind a 305ci vortec TB injected C/K truck work with just a spacer and stock torque converter with a 2001 LS1?
From what I read it should right, so all I need is the Hughes one and bolts? Someone buying an engine from me needs to know what is involved in this swap. All he needs is the harness and ecu with it along with the spacer and he should be on the road?

Hello boss man, if you want to bolt up a transmission to a LS application the easiest way is to count the Bell housing bolts LS has to has seven bolts it transmission only has six bolts on the Bell housing you will need a crank spacer, or a custom converter for a 6 bolt transmission to work behind a LS1,LS2,LS3 and so on.

Swapping a LQ9 in my 78 vette. I have good 2004R I would like to use and have been on few of the forums looking for a solution. I am swapping the manifold for a LS6 with a cable TB. I need a bracket for the cable and TV cable. Where do I find bracket or do I a cruise control type? I will also need the hughs bushing? Here a bracket I found last night. http://www.ebay.com/itm/181038529555...84.m1423.l2649

someone make this a sticky
here are the facts about fitting an old style trans to the gen3 engines
1. the gm gen1,2 trans will bolt to the gen3 engines but you only use 5 bolts, the gen 3 engines do not use the middle bellhousing bolt on the pass side( no big deal)
2. you do not need a special flexplate, the curved 4.8,5.3,LS1- just need the t/c bolt holes ovaled out a bit and the 5.3 flex plates have a set of holes that match the small gm t/c bolt pattern perfect
- the 6.0 flat flex plate has the same t/c holes as the large gm pattern(th400 and most aftermarket th350 converters that have a dual t/c bolt pattern on them)
3. you need to use a crankshaft spacer when using a gen1,2 trans and converter there are 2 types:
- hughes gen3 crankshaft spacer part # hup-3795 $44 from summit/jegs, this spacer must be used with the curved 4.8,5.3,LS1 flexplates
- gm stock 6.0 crankshaft spacer 12563532 and longer bolts 12563533, this spacer can be used with either the flat or curved flexplate ( if using the curved style flexplate the flexplate goes on the crank first then the spacer goes on then the bolts, if using the flat 6.0 flexplate the spacer goes on the crankshaft first then the flexplate then the bolts)
i have used both style spacers, on several 5.3,LS1, 6.0 swaps and have not had any problems with either set up

No, its crankshaft, flexplate and then spacer. The spacer properly centers the pilot of the shorter 700R4 converter.
