Re: flexplate

The flexplate for the Vortec engine will work fine with a TH350. If your going to install the EFI from the Vortec 5.7 the your going to have issues with the PCM cause it operates the transmission in the late model truck. Why not install the 4L60E behind the new engine and get all the advantages of the EFI driveline?
