A518 Flex Plate Help???

charger70 said
The TCI 141250 is the one I have. 2500stall.
It is neutral balance and requires a balanced flexplate. More bucks.

TCI-141253 Is listed as "external balance" which I believe is balanced for the magnum motor. Maybe you could ask to have TCI balance it to your 340. Maybe more bucks, maybe not. I assume its more expensive due to it being balanced already.

Both have the correct bolt pattern, but neither have the correct balance.
Its the same thing I ran up against 1 1/2 yrs ago.

Was that company, PATC, in the ballpark pricewise?
Perhaps they would do the 2800 stall and balance too.

Try putting a request on here for a used balanced flexplate?

Don't know about temp, I'm not monitoring, I just made sure the cooler is bigger than the truck I got it from.

Yea, I think I will give PATC a call tomorrow, to see what they can do first. If I do end up going with the TCI one like you got, would the B&M flex plate be the one to get for the balance that I would need? Would this be the correct one to get? http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=BMM-10235&autoview=sku Also just wondering if you would happen to know why the converters from PATC are priced so much lower then the TCI one, when the TCI has a lower stall. Do you think the TCI is just built better or something? I don't mind paying the higher price, if it's going to be better. I am just a little worried about the lower stall with the TCI. Do you think I will be fine with it. My 340 has a mild cam in it, by claysmith with a .450 lift. I also have an edelbrock airgap intake, with a holley 4 barrel carb and TTI headers. I am eventually planning on putting fuel injection on it. The rear end is stock as far as I know. It is posi traction . I am just going to use the car as a street car and only race it once in a great while. So, I don't know what stall would be best for my setup. What would you say? I appreciate your help very much, cause I am just so lost when it comes to this stuff.
