There's absolutely a lot of advice in the Conversions Section here on the site. Read and take a few notes. There are also several very good, thorough and recent books on the subject of LS engine swaps and this is how I started my swap quest late last year. I read, took notes and only THEN . . . started asking questions. Slow and deliberate reading, planning and buying will absolutely give you a better and less expensive LS engine swap outcome.
What vehicle will you be modifying???

I used the ATP-Z270 flexplate from Summit Racing. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/atp-z270
This has the spacer built in, and uses the 4l80e torque converter. For only $50 or so, it's perfect. Bought the bolts too and I think they were $25 or so. Works perfectly fine.
