The powerglide bellhousing will bolt up....

There are some differences with flexplate and torque convertor....some companies make a torque convertor to bolt up to the LSx style flexplate or a flexplate/spacer to bolt up to the existing torque convertor...

It's a spacer that you will need to 'space' the converter from the flywheel. it requires longer bolts and for you to 'oval' the holes of the ls1 flex plate. All you bolt holes will line up except one up top i believe and the LS1 will have an extra bolt hole.

Check with GM, they make a spacer specfically for doing this. I'll chime back in if I can find the part number.

Though the LQ4 will probably already have this installed since the 4L80 is used behind it and requires the spacer setup.
