153 tooth flexplate Not sure where to post this one, but this seems like the right place. Here goes:
Installing a 2007 LC9 Vortec 5300 in my Land Rover Discovery and need to replace the stock 168 tooth flexplate with a 153 tooth flexplate and correct starter. Reason: the 168 tooth plate is too large diameter to safely go inside the Rover ZF auto trans bellhousing.
Does anyone out there know a good part number (OEM or Aftermarket) for a 153 tooth flexplate that will bolt up to the GEN IV engines? And what about a starter? I've done searching on this and haven't found anything, so any info would be good at this point.
Thanks,
Richard

You can't use a 153 tooth flexplate on an LS1, because the converter bolts would be hard to acces inside the LSx engine bellhousing, they would be hidden. If your Land Rover can use studs on the flex plate, you can use adapter for an SBC flexplate and add stud to the flexplate to mount the converter from the Land Rover to the LSx engine. Otherwise, you are SOL. Good luck!
McLeod was working on an adapter for mini starters (153 tooth) for manuals to use, not sure if it was released or not.
