Where to find a SFI approved flexplate?
I am looking for a SFI approved LT1 crank flexplate. An internal balanced one. I know of the B & M and TCI external balance(the one with the weight on it). I am wondering if anyone makes one without the weight. Must have the 10.75 bolt pattern for LT1 cranks.
Thanks
Ken

AFAIK, you can just remove the weight and have it rechecked for zero balance. I'd call B&M if you need more info or are looking for a part number of one that comes that way to start with, but that's an option at least. I just went through this trying to find one with a weight...

Probe can get you one without breaking the bank.As already said you can remove the weight and "0" balance it.
Make sure they know it's for a late LT-1 and not the one from the late 70's or early 80's because it won't work.
