One for a 700R4. You need a flexplate from a Truck engine with the 4L80E and the crank adapter.

Re: 5.3 + 700r4

Why is everyone so dead set on reusing old crappy/weak trannys behind the new engines when better ones are commonly available. Individually, the conversion parts arent expensive, but add them up and they're almost as much as it would cost to buy a good used 4L60E trans

Crank adapter
Special longer bolts
Flexplate
Lock up kit
Custom length TV cable
TV cable bracket
VSS conversion parts
etc

Amen!

In '09 I was looking into the possibility of putting a "spare" LQ4 into Berlinetta #1, using my existing TH700 (since I didn't have a tranny to go with the LQ4). I just couldn't get there, and ended up bartering away the LQ4 (a decision I now regret). Later that year I came across the LS1/4L60E dropout that is now in the car, and the superiority of that tranny is absolute.
