I've used a ton of OEM street hemi in my race cars as well as several "Mopar" SFI tagged race ones , I've never hurt one of either type or know any racer out here that has that had a decent converter to start with I have seen them cracked but we also found out why, like a missing oil pump drive bushing or cracked or worn out bushing I know several local racers that bought and used the B&M 6 bolt plates that had problems with all of the B&M they used Not so with the Mopar brand race 6 bolt flexplates with the large (7/16 diameter) race converter bolts

IIRC the 8 bolt pattern is actually the factory *-1962 (B/RB, early poly, Gen-1 hemi) stock flange. Didn't there used to be 2 different 8 bolt flex plates, depending on the converter bolt size?

One 8 bolt flex plate for production - came out with Gen II Hemi. Same pattern between race and street hemi.
Before that there was I believe an 8 "bolt" design - but had no flex plate.
The converter had studs that engaged the crank holes, held to the crank with nuts.
There are two different 6 bolt flex plates - depending on converter bolt size. But the large converter bolt plate was a Direct Connection - I don't recall us ever offering a large drive lug bolt converter for a six bolt crank in production.

How about 1962 to 1964 M.W., my 1963 Belevedere 415 HP M.W. had one in it in 1971
