Get the full plate. The firewall will thank you. I swapped a C6 to a "typ4"'ed 460 ZF5. I went with the full plate and I'm glad I did. More support the better there. Having see how much the firewall can flex there is a little scary.

X2...the "little" plate is supposed to be used if the firewall hasn't been cracked already, but IMHO you may as well go for the gold. It's not that much extra to get the big plate on there, and this way it's just plain done and you don't have to worry about it anymore.

I have one of Jason's big plates; haven't installed it yet, but I have to say that the quality of his work is top notch ;Sweet

I would like dibs on the flex plate spacer and reinforcement ring and bolts if they are available. Darn hard pieces to find since a majority of the trucks in my area are manual trans.

May have to fight for parts. I'm fixing a bad e4od in my crew cab so I may need it. If not, its all up for grabs

You wouldn't perhaps have a rc/lb 4x4 zf-5 rear driveshaft that you would be willing to part with in one of your trucks, would you?
