And not available. This is kind of like being on the last lap and running out of gas 50' from the finish line. John, thanks for digging this up. I may just post a wanted ad as this topic is going to come up again and it's nice to have another solution in addition to welding weights.

OOPS. Didn't notice they were NLA.
Perhaps somebody who has a 10238 flexplate could make a tracing of the cutout and make it available so that the full-circle 10230 flexplate could easily be notched to duplicate it.

I thought the torque converters on forged crank 440's were all neutral balance, 6pack rods or not? I think the external balancing on 6 pack rod engines was done on the harmonic balancer The 70 and up 440 large rod motors are eternally balanced at the harmonic balancer AND the torque convertor/flywheel

Here are a few pics - showing both 10238 driveplates. One with the weigth and one with the cutout - 180 degrees from where the weight would be. I'll post the tracing in a bit.

The 1.635" dimension, is that from the edge of the hole?

Bee,I have the drive train out of my 70 R/T at home.It's a 440 u-code car that still has the original motor and trans. I can take a pic of the face of the converter if you want me to.Let me know. John. John, thanks for the pictures and dimensions of the converter weights. If I go this route, I definitely have enough information to do it correctly. Appreciate the help.

6PakBee - yes - from the edge of the hole. Thanks for the detailed sketch. If I can't get hold of one of the flexplates, I'm sure I can lay it out using your drawing.

Just to close this thread out, Transman has the machining capabilities to convert the B&M neutral balance 10230 flexplate to the external balance 10238. He did two for me and now I am set. Thanks so much!!
