Thanks, Ed.  I have to admit that I am still not certain that I understand everything I need to know about the flex plates, etc.   
 
Hi Paul,
 
Maybe I'm missing something, but why do you need to know anything about flex plates for your engine swap?  Aren't you going to install the Ross drive on the new engine?  If so, wouldn't you also move the Ross drive plate (with the springs) and or flex plate at the same time?  I just don't see why you need anything new.

Hey, Rusty....yes, I would install the Ross drive on the new engine, along with the Ross drive plate that has the springs.  I just thought if I had the proper flex plate, it would be an easier engine swap if I just have to remove and reinstall that triangular looking plate with the springs.  I understand that is the drive plate.  What the heck is the flex plate....are we talking about the cast iron flywheel?  That is harder to exchange, because of that large 2 1/8" nut .  If I just have to remove and reinstall the triangular Ross drive plate that has the springs, and it will bolt onto the flywheel of the standard transmission engine, then I am all set.  Paul Conner
