    I noticed that it seemed slower. But, according to the speedometer, we gained a few mph in the 1/4 mile, and gained alot of driveability. Also, egt is lower. The up-pipes don't glow red anymore!

    It isn't much of a "flexplate". Half inch cold rolled steel isn't gonna give much. Going with the same trans I've had, which has a recon converter. Yes, it will be screaming for mercy, I am aware!

    This is what the square plate turned out to be... Then, we had to make the center hub. It started life as a 4 1/2 inch round chunk of 4140 steel...

    So, I got to thinking about my cast iron flywheel, and how thin it got when we machined it. Less than a 1/4 inch thick. Got told by a few people that have experience that it will shatter. I need a reliable vehicle... So... Monday, we make a flexplate. This should be fun! Never did this before!
