When you buy a YANK converter at the same time the cost drops to $50.00 for the flexplate.

We buy in large amounts and pass the savings on to the customer this helps us sell converters thats our main product.

We changed suppliers of our flexplate and still need to update the picture online. We now sell the Hughes style SFI flexplate. The one pictured is the old Cat style and we had supply and quality issues. They are a little more expensive, but I think they are a better flexplate. Sorry for the confusion.

It will be good with any LS style 4L60 converter. It is a dual BP, so it also works for TH350/400 conversions. It will not fit a 4L80 type converter, unless it is a hybrid with the 60e BP. I have the crank bolts, but not included with the flexplate. They are $18 for the set.
