Yes the yank 80e verter will mate right up to a 98 f-body flexplate and then you save the cost of buying the spacer and longer flexplate bolts that was posted above

I got my Yank SC3000 built for a 5.3 Flexplate so ill be able to use the stocker and put the 6L flexplate and spacer in my S10 with the circleD stall.. saves me roughly $75 and no extra charge from yank for it.

Whatever way you go, don't go with a stock flexplate and 750rwhp. F-body or not, that's just stupid. Get one that's SFI approved, especially if you go with a t-brake (which is the only way to go with a turbo and 2wd IMO).
