Default 1971 Toyota Corona 5.3/th400 swap

Car currently has a tired 305/th400 with a Toyota turbo V6 welded diff, and I will begin my swap within the next two months. Suspension will be swapped out for adjustable coilovers at all four corners with 225/60/15's and ZG style flares all around. The plan is to get around 300ft-lbs at the rear wheels with an early (99-00) 5.3 mated to my th400 and run it all through a 1999 ford explorer 8.8 rear end. I've been reading that the early year ls series has a 4/10" longer crank flange and would not need a flexplate adapter or spacers to mate up to the 400. I will be eliminating powersteering as well as AC and run it as a daily driver

I had to look up what a '71 Corona looks like. I'm already liking this build. Can't wait to watch the buildup.

Only the 6.0 has the longer crank flange,lots of info here on the various combos of converter,spacer, flywheel and bolts to hook up that TH400,should be easy enough.
As always,pics are mandatory...
