manual to auto

ok the engine that i am rebuilding was originally had a t-56 behind it. well now it will have a 4l60e behind it.

with the balancing of these motors do i need to have the motor balanced with the new flexplate or am i able to just bold a new one on and go? if so what is the flexplate i need as i would like to upgrade from the factory one or is it easier to just use my stock flexplate and swap it over?

Re: manual to auto

Depends whether you are doing an internal or external balance.

Fred its a stock bottom end. I had it look at and was told to leave it alone cause it was still in great shape. Only thing being done is a cam and heads rebuilt with new springs seals and 1.6rr's

Re: manual to auto

If you aren't touching the bottom end a stock A4 flexplate will work. LT1s are internally balanced in the front and externally balanced in the rear.
