Default 5.3/glide question

ok, heres what i have......
5.3 and a glide without a flexplate or a converter.
I know it has been gone over and over and ive searched but can find what i need. what flexplate, spacer (if needed) and converter do i use?
im on a budget and dont want to buy parts twice so i figured i would ask.

you have two options
1) run a factory flexplate/no spacer and get a custom converter

2) run an offset flexplate and a spacer, use a regular glide converter

i know for th350s there is this thread
https://ls1tech.com/forums/conversio...nk-spacer.html

also, on the edelbrock website, it lists
"Crankshaft sleeve #HP3795 and Flexplate #HP4004 is recommended when using a TH350, TH400 or 700R4 on a LS1; these items are available through Hughes Performance retailers or you can call Hughes at 800-274-RACE."
