  • Dadgum folks he even drew ya pictures and broke it all the way down for ya. Listen to learn not to reply. Thanks for the info man I'm in the process of swapping a 72 nova four door with an LS, going with the original 350 tranny that came in it, rebuilt of course, and a 4000 converter. Should be a fun one
  • You're a life saver. I've been trying to figure out which plate to put on my Th400 when I buy a 5.3 for my 88 C1500. I'm trying to be smart and buy my materials before I hop in and I've been stuck. Thank you
  • @3rdGenC10s
    The ls I picked up had a 4l60e flexplate with a 4l80e behind it, I swapped it out to a 4l80e flexplate for the cheap insurance of it being the correct part. Great video and explanation.

    This video btw - has been a TREMENDOUS help. Cutting through the bubba engineering, and half baked nonsense to get straight answers has been a task in and of itself.

    Thanks great video! I had the same question and every place I looked online said get a 6.0 flex plate, two weeks ago I went to the junk yard and found the exact same express van that I got my 4L80E and it still had the flex plate with a 4.8 engine, I got it for 20 bucks but I wasn’t sure if it will work or not but thanks to your video now I know it will.
  • This was the exact info I was looking for to do my motor swap. Great explanation, thanks
  • @84shortbed
    Good video, swapping a 4.8 in my 84 Square body. I already have the adapter for the torque converter so gonna elongate the holes and make it work for now.
