In November or so of 2002, one of our sponsers said 4 to 6 weeks for an LS1 SFI flexplate. Is it available yet? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> COME ON GUYS
<img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

Does anybody make one yet? Did I miss something?

Seriously...I think that virtually everyone with an auto that does a converter would toss one of these in if it were priced around $200.

Any word on this. I would like to get one to go along with my TH 400.

 

just like any other ls1 part, ALWAYS late in mfg.

like those electric water pumps!

 

Hi Tom,
I've got to apologize for the delay in the SFI approved LS1 flexplates. We were working with a company that drug their feet too much and then came back with a tooling fee quote of 23K. That would have sent the cost of the flexplate up to the $300/ea mark. Since then, we've decided to tool up and make them ourselves instead of farming them out. I sent the first prototype to the test lab 3 weeks ago for SFI certification. I found out the results yesterday. The passed both the spin test and material tests. Our material is now on order and will be here in two weeks. We'll have them on the shelf within the month. The TCI part number is 399753. I'll have some pricing info in the next few days.

Is there anyway that we can get these pre-drilled to mate up with TH400 converters?

Scott

 

Scott,
We have both the LS1 bolt pattern as well as the small GM bolt pattern drilled in it. That way you can bolt a TH350/TH400 or TH2004R converter to it or the stock style LS1 bolt pattern.

 

Excellent!

Thanks for letting us know Kevin!

I'll be wanting one of those.

That is great...I will order on as soon as they become available! Can you put me on the 'notify' list for when they are ready?...scott.allen@earthlink.net

Thanks,

 

JW already has them they have had them for a few months, they don't list them in there cat. but if you call them they will make you one. Mine took around a month.

 

Cool... I've been waiting for an affordable SFI flexplate to become available... Way to go, TCI!

 

The JW was right around 200 and they will drill it for TH400 or 4L60E setups.
