Be careful when purchasing a flexplate and bolts. Reason why,
there is a special year ('99-'00) 6.0L LS that had a "long" crankshaft. That means the
crankshaft projects .55" inches from rear cover lip, compared to the .13" inches from
the standard length crankshaft. This does not seem like alot of difference in
measurement but it is the difference between your swap mating up or not. With the
standard length crankshaft you need a dished
flexplate &NO
spacer. With the long crankshaft you need aflat
crankshaft &NO
spacer. The spacers are for non-LS transmissions.
What this means to
you?
Mating whatever transmission you are using to your LS engine
can be a very simple process or a very difficult one. Making sure you have all of the
parts you need for your exact application will save you a ton of hassle. A common swap
is a 6.0L LS based engine, for their power and reliability, but in the '99-'00 they came
with a "long crankshaft". That long crankshaft will only work with a flat flexplate
compared to the dished plate on standard length crankshafts. Just do your research on
the engine you have, try and get the RPO code for your engine, or the VIN (Vehicle
Identification Number) off of your donor vehicle and any GM dealership would be able to
provide you with a build sheet which would have all of that information on it. Please
