anyone know about flex plates? i need one with an older(smaller) bolt pattern i have a 6.0 with crank spacer and the original 6.0/4l80e flex plate along with a 4l80e.
when i ordered a new converter from precision it came with the wrong bolt pattern. aparently they only have a 4l80e covers with the "old" bolt pattern and that pattern in smaller than the newer pattern, about 1/2" in on each bolt.
precisions sugestion was to just oval out the holes. i did that and it has worked but i expect to push 1000rwhp and it seems like something better than a stock flex plate with hoged out holes is in order.
is there some kind of sfi flex plate with multiple bolt patterns for the converter? my flex plate is virtualy flat unlike the 4.8/4l60e one that had a bulge in it around the crank.
