1) Go to www.crateenginedepot.com and order their 80e flexplate kit with longer bolts and spacer.

4) Use the dirty dingo mounts that keeps the engine in the stock location. I wish they had those when I did my conversion way back when, would have made my conversion so much easier.
5) The hotrod pan kit should work or you can use a truck or fbody pan kit. I've use both fbody and truck pans in OBS vehicles with no clearance issues.
You can use the factory radiator with the NBS hoses, the top hose goes from the driver side to the top of the pump. Lower hose, again use the NBS factory hose. If you have a 34" core radiator you will need to use a hose off a 34" core truck, usually a 3/4 ton or 2006+ truck.
