Default Man am I at a delima or what!!?

Well my driveshaft just let go about an hour ago!!! I need some help here fellas this one is going to take some effort....

Alright, if you look at my sig. you can see what is here at my house waiting on install!! Since the tranny is coming out, that means it's the perfect time for the motor swap!! I recently purchased a flexplate from a fellow member, for a stock 4l80e. It has the built in spacer plate so thats cool, but I don't know if it will mate to my converter!!!

What do I need to look for to find out if they will mate together???

Also can anyone tell me the length of the custom driveshaft that I need to order for an EX cab 1500 (4l80e conversion)???

Thanks guys

Not too sure yet!! I do have every bolt on imaginable aside from major power adders(TC,SC,N2O).

If the holes don't line up, you can drill some new ones. Thats what I did with my stock 5.3 flexplate. Do you have big tires on the truck? If not, you may be better off going with a set of 3.42s in the 12 bolt.
