For anyone wondering, the C6 has a two piece setup with a cast iron flywheel and starter ring gear, and a separate stamped steel flexplate. Both pieces are held onto the crank with the same set of bolts.
Later E4OD style "flexplates" are a true flexplate that eliminates the cast iron flywheel. The stamped steel portion is made stronger while the flywheel is replaced with a spacer, and the starter ring gear is mig welded to the edge of the flexplate.
Later E4OD style "flexplates" have only the stamped steel flexplate that eliminates the cast iron flywheel. The stamped steel portion is stronger, the flywheel is replaced with a spacer, and the starter ring gear is mig welded to the edge of the flexplate.
I don't know if the E4OD style flexplate can work on a C6, but I was able to cheat the other way around with some minor modding.
My flexplate broke a while back but I was lucky and found a good C6 style flexplate that came off a 7.3 (think it was 1988). Paid a little too much at the wreckers but it was in decent shape.

Side note , a 1991 7.3 flex plate has 4 torque converter stud holes . I wonder if that will work ? I email ATP and inquired about the sheet metal drive plate ....we will see what happens .....
AHH HHA !!! I did a quick search and the newer one piece flex plate WILL work but I'll need a spacer that's used on the E4OD trucks ...! Anyone have a e4od spacer kicking around ?

Six hole is for 95 and up PSD. This will not work on the IDI.
