Default Flex plate question

I believe this is a 6.0l flexplate, correct me if I'm wrong. But I'm bolting this up to a 5.3 mounted to a TH400. Does this flexplate already have the cracksahft spacer needed for bolting to older trans?

Cool thanks. So I don't need to buy a crankshaft spacer, just need longer bolts and elongate the converter bolt holes?

No need to buy a spacer

Long bolts are required to run that setup

On a stock type converter you will probally need to do that. I am guessing if you are ordering a custom converter you could specify the bolt circle.

Fti torque converters have a dual gm bolt pattern so no need to elongate the holes on the flexplate. I was quite happy when I noticed this with my fti...other brands are probably similar in bolt pattern options so check ahead of time
