Default flex plate question.

I currently have a th350 in my Trans Am.. I am planning on putting in a built 700r4. Do I need a new flex plate or can I just use the one that is in there for the th350?

What flexplate do you have now and are you using the pilot extender?

But the answer is probably yes.

Chris
it came with the car so I have no idea what It has.. Lets say I do need one.. Any recommendations?

Also what kind of stall do you recommend for a street car that will see drag every once in a while?

Not if your just switching to a 700r4, should swap right in.

I would expect this too, but Chris (Circle-D) knows 100x more about flexplates than me. Perhaps Chris was just being cautious and wanted to be sure.

you kind of have to know what's in there now-a reg 700R converter would have a short snout, unless it was ordered with a longer one
if not, then maybe it has a spacer
anybody's just guessing otherwise-do you really want to lose overdrive?
