This flat flexplate didn't work with my 200-4r. I used a 5.3 flexplate. The wider bolt pattern made me have to drill holes for the 4l80e flex, I would rather elongate them so it would be easier to keep them center in th 5.3 flex. The only thing I needed for my 5.3 flex was a Hughes adapter and 5 min. my air grinder.
Why exactly did it not work for you?

That is really strange. All I had to do was elongate the existing torque converter bolt holes about 1/8" with a die grinder like you describe. Did you use the same part number as I did? Also, did you have a 3 bolt or 6 bolt converter?

proper flexplate & spacer with 4l80 and older 400, 350 & 200 transmissions Ah, got it. Good clarification.
So, to recap: If out already have an offset 4l60e flexplate, you can use the aftermarket spacer that goes on after the flexplate. But if you do not have a flexplate yet, it might just be easier to buy the flat 4l80 flexplate with spacer kit. With this kit the spacer goes between the crank and the flywheel.

I bought the hughes flexplate and spacer and then found all these threads about just needing a spacer. Is the gm spacer the same as the hughes, just cheaper? Also, how much power can you make and still be ok with the elongated tc holes?

If you are seriously making power, you should probably have an SFI flexplate anyway.

I bought the Edelbrock Cam and Manifold, but the MSD 6010 Box. I would recommend Edel manifold, but not the box. I think buying the MSD and Edel manifold seperatley from Summit was cheaper than the Edelbrock package anyways.
BTW, Edelbrock cam was an easy install and the kit comes with very detailed directions, no need to pull up alldata for anything.

Basically turn key ignition system. All connectors plug right into the factory LS connectors. You need to make 3 connections. +12v coil (key), -12v coil (tach), and a ground. to get you started just plug in a pill and go. There are seperate connectors included in case you want to add retard or a MAP sensor. You will need to buy a serial cable (if you don't have one) from Walmart or Best Buy in case you want to hhok it to your comp/ laptop.
