Subject: [FlyRotary] Re: flex plate
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
