Everyone wanted around 350-400 for a 1/2" one. We ended up making a few out of 1/4". No need for 1/2"

I have a cnc'd blank plate (flywheel ring and starter provision cut out) for a K-Series to a SBC/BBC. New, never used, not even mocked up.

Rob Youngblood (advanced clutches) does all our clutch/torque converter stuff. I think we may have some 1/4" blank plates.

Josue, we got a 1" thick aluminum plate with only K series Bolt holes cut out in it that we originally were going to use on my 240 before we scrapped it for the MR2. Making the rest of the holes would be easy. If it interests you let me know. We got it sitting here at the shop.

It's funny this thread popped up. I've been trying to research this same exact setup for the last 2 days. A lot of people seem to be making the plates but you never see them together and there's very limited info on the flexplate/converter setups along with the starter. Also it appears that the plates I've seen have the engine mounted straight vertically. Would that effect the oiling system at all since in sits at an angle stock?
Hopefully some more info or even a company will have a complete bolt together kit soon. I'm dying to build a small rwd car that can handle some power reliably.

we run ptc converters that are built specifically to each setup based on weight engine set etc. it shouldn't be a problem.im not concerned about leaving only on boost because it will be on nitrous for spool up if needed

That's what we ended up with as well. Mr. Youngblood helped us out a lot with the rail car.

http://www.billsautofab.com/forums/f...ct=261#xx261xx I think Bill is the best. Go to his hompage and call him. Very humble guy. Right now his doing a complete bellhousing for my friend, for a 4g63 to a liberty clutchless transmision. If you think of anything to adapt any transmission you have, to what ever motor you have call this guy.
