Flexplate differences?
Flexplate differences? alright, just was looking on summitracing's website since i need to order a new flexplate for the TH350 conversion. anyways, i have two part numbers
TCI-399173 that is $99.99 and is listed for a 4L60E
then there is
TCI-399753 that is $199.99 which is what i come up with for a '99 5.7L engine
what's the $100 difference gonna be for? both are SFI approved and for a one piece rear main seal. i've always seen the $199.99 version and was just checking shipping date/availability. Wouldn't mind saving $100 if it was gonna work just as well.

EDIT - cheaper one is externally balanced. both are 153 tooth, but the ATI flexplate on the ATI's website for LS1's is listed as a 168 tooth. now there's another question! what tooth count? haha

I just called tci direct to get the info. Just installed the flexplate and it is real beefy. It is thicker than stock. It has dual pattern holes for ls1 converter or sbc converter.
