Talked with Eric from JW at PRI. He could not remember the exact spacing on his flywheel. He gave me a figure but it does not sound correct if you run starter spacers. Do you run washers to correct converter pump engagement or have any motor plate spacing built into converter?
The reason I ask, is no sense in two companies making the same flexplate. My next run of bells I may deal with JW. The price they quoted was $375 for flywheel and crank converter adapter. Does this sound correct?

Mike/Bethany did this convertor work better than your old one?
. It is faster in 60 ft but a little slower, he is changing it a little and thinks it will be better. I will keep you updated on it when we go again . Are y'all going to hangovers.

I can make single order crank adapters and supply a SFI flex plate for less than $375. Not sure if this would benefit your situation or not.

We are going if nothing goes wrong.
Can you use those headers I sent you? Or are they junk?

Thanks for the pricing. $250 for flexplate and $78 for adapter.
My flexplate will pilot the gm converter. It is spaced for the quick time bell. May also work for adapter plate applications depending on debth.
Considerably more affordable and lighter.

They have not been shipped here yet. So not sure of the overhead. Should be no more than $300. Would hope to be $250. A lot depends on small parts. I plan to include flywheel bolts in the deal.
For instance, Quick Time includes bell housing bolts with their bells. They are grade 8 socket head similar to what JW sends. How many people can get an Allen socket to their bellhousing bolts. It cost more but, I plan to include cadium coated 12 point bolts for the bell. This way a 3/8 box end wrench and you can check these bolts with ease.
I just don't believe in selling a product that has any difficulty that could have been eliminated for little expense.
