Default Running spacer, flexplate, th350, which starter?

I am going to be running a Hughes Performance spacer and flex plate with my LS1 so that I can mate a TH350 transmission to it.

Do I still use a starter fitted for LS1 motor or do I use a standard SBC starter?

The spacer goes between the flywheel and the transmission not between the flywheel and the crank. Hopefully that makes sense but long story short your going to use the ls1 starter.

save your $ the hughes stuff is junk. The one I got was warped so bad it hit the block and bellhousing.

Go with the TCI unit it is much stronger and not just a modded stock style flexplate

i just ordered the spacer and longer bolts from gmpartsdirect.com it was 70 shipped, you will use the ls1 starter and flexplate just gonna have to elongate the converter holes.
