Default LSA crank

I'm thinking about using a LSA crank in an automatic 4L65E c5 vette

I know the LSA has an 8 bolt flexplate, I'm curious if the driveshaft snout clamp will mate up.

the lsa 8 bolt sfi flexplates cost as much as the durn crank!! (I got a good deal)

any problems going this route? The stock LSA forged crank is a beauty!!

if needed I can use this crank in a different engine if this is a hassle.

Hey bud I just went through this with my c7 which has a 8 bolt crank. I purchased a rm-998 quicktime flexplate. That flex plate has a 6 bolt pattern for the spline coupler. I ordered the rpm blillet cone. Most people don't need the billet one unless you are serious drag racing.

The 6 bolt snout will not mate. You will either need a stock c7 flex plate with snout or order the quicktime to use your 6 bolt one.
