When I had this engine put together the builder internally balanced it, at the time it wasn't a big deal.
I have managed to break some teeth off the flex-plate and now need to replace it.
I tried looking up a internally balanced flex-plate for a BBC gut come up with nothing. I see they offer the BB balance weight that is added on to the crank so they must offer a flex-plate that does not have the weight welded to it.
Anyone have an idea of what flex-plate I can use?
I guess I can get the 454 flex-plate and grind the weight off.
I do have plans to pull the engine in the future to have it stroked to a 540 but am not ready to do this right now.
I'm going to pull the broke flex-plate to see if I can see any balancing marks on it to make sure I don't have the have the new flex-plate balanced before the install.
thanks for any help, Neal
