Flex plate, 168 0r 153
 

I'm finishing up the rest of the parts for my conversion to auto. I got a test bed tranny that I will slap in first before the hi/po 350/Gear Vendor unit goes in. The tranny came out of a Chevelle 350/350 with a 153 ring gear. I have a 168 but I think it's for a 400 exernal balance ( it has two sets of what look like balancing holes around mid diameter ). I have to buy a starter for the conversion from stick to auto, I only want to buy 1 starter. Anyone find any problems with the 153 gear or is the 168 worth the money.:bowtie:

the only differance is the nose on the starter,i dont theink it be that much of a differance in cost,i bought a new pioneer flexplate for $36.99 and its 163 tooth,it has two sets of holes to mount the converter ,one for a large bolt pattern converter and small, id go with the 163 tooth if you plan on ever switching to a stall converter...

S-C:bowtie:

i've got a 168 tooth flywheel for a 350 laying around in the garage. $5 plus shipping let me know.
