Just use the flex plate from the R/T it already has the weight on it for the magnum. If you do that be sure to knock off the 360 weight on the converter. You may have to elongate one bolt hole but it works great.

but wasn't the magnum 360 only available with 727 based trannies? (46RH/RE)?
No, i have mine hooked up to a 904, i just used the 360 magnum flexplate with the weights, just longate one of the holes & its a fit.

so the OEM weighted flexplate will work with a 904 or 727?
Yep, speaking for the 904 anyway, i'm sure the 727 would be the same, some magnums came with the weights on the converter, just need the ones that had the weights on the flexplate.

but what I'm saying is the 360 mag was never available behind a 904 based tranny (42RH/RE), and I _thought_ the bolt circle on a 904's converter is a smaller diameter than a 727's converter.....if it's not, B&M makes a magnum weighted flexplate for a 727

For whatever its worth, I'm not sure what tranny was behind this 360 magnum flexplate, but not only did my "stock" 904 converter bolt up to it, so did the PTC i bought, another thing i did (& it worked out great) is open up the flexplate holes to except the 7/16" bolts, I don't know what to tell you, other then you "CAN" bolt up a 904 converter, & B&M no longer makes the flexplate for the 904/360 magnum conversion.
