What converter are you using for this swap? Some 80E vig converters have a small bolt pattern that requires reaming out of the mounting holes on the flexplate. Grippy has a thread in the drivetrain section where he got a new flexplate made to take care of this problem.
I do not think the stock 5.3L flexplate will work with this swap. It is already "bent" and you need a flexplate that is "flat" to use with the spacer. The 6.0L plate is flat and made to use with spacer and a 80E. That is how it was on my swap anyway.

What I was saying is, my 6.0 flywheel has the spacer already made into it....welded to it. If ya want I can snap a picture of it. If you use a simillar flywheel, you won't need your spacer. Uno momento.....
