It seems the correct flex plate is all that is needed? No mention of other issyes mounting a 350/400 to a LS motor

 

I have that flexplate in my Camaro, it's a direct replacement but has a second set of holes and came with an adaptor for the converter snout. I'm fairly certain the centerline of the crank and input shaft line up, but like I said have never done it personally so I don't want to tell you that it fits for sure.

It has to line up-otherwise it would not work.

Ok I need more transmission Clarification- On the 4L60 and 80e- why do they seem SO much more expensive to mod, and in "built" form than the 350/400? How much can the stock 60/80E hold realistically?? Also any difference in the 4.3 Slush boxes?

 

As for Manuals-does the T5 out of trucks work? Does the T5s out of 4.3 V6's work? Same mounting as a Ford T5 (that is in the car only reason I ask!!)

 

350/400 have been around for so much longer than the 4L60e/80, that's why they are cheaper to build. The 4.3 uses the same transmission (700r4/4L60), no difference that I know of. The T5 out of a 4.3 will have the same bell housing pattern as a SBC does.

 

If plan on building something with a manual valve body, I would choose the 350/400. After having talked with many trans builders, the 700r4/4L60e does not like manual valve bodies and very much doesnt like reverse manual VBs.

manual VB=manual shifting and Reverse Manual=use of a "trans break" correct?

Yes Manual = manual shifting with the stock shifting.

Reverse Manual =manual with a PRN123(D) pattern instead.

Oh yeah forgot about transbrakes, 4l60s dont like those either :fuuuu:

What is the benefit of reverse manual-so you can go directly to N form any gear without R in the way?
