I don't know if it's in the video and I scanned through it a little, but it's 20 mins long so I may have missed over it.
But the difference in question is a spacing change due to a different crankshaft in the later years. GM makes a spacer ring to adapt.
I'm sure it's a simple and cheap solution. Best case, your new motor will bolt up just like the old one. Worst case, you'll need a dished flex plate or flat flex plate with the spacer. Nothing to fret over and the spacer is like $25ish, IIRC.
*EDIT* Just saw Jegs has it for $40 and it's $50 on Amazon. I swear it was about half that last I looked. Maybe another price hike from the strike?
