Would like opinions on reusing the flex plate from my SB on the new 511 combo? If they both have the same bolt patterns why not I have reuse stock ones for years, especially the 11 inch big bolt pattern (7/16 converter bolts) M.W. and the stock 8 bolt pattern 426 street Hemi ones

On those square flex plates mopar made 2 of them.. one 6 bolt and one 8 bolt.. I'm talking the SFI with the bigger bolts for the conv.. but if you have a BB or a SB the same flex fits.. I have used mine on about 6 engines over the years and got the round one for my R3-W-9.... look it over closely.. if its not cracked.. put it on

I don't like the wimpy star flexplates and cracked a few over the years hence the reason for the B&M full circle plate. Order the one based on the balance weather internal or external...........mines 15+ years old..........

Dominic, Thumperdart, is correct about the light duty stock ones cracking, I've seen several like that I've never heard or saw a stock full size solid Mopar flex plate break or crack Mopar used the exact same cores for their SFI plates they sold and added more money onto them for that SFI tag I have never seen or heard of any NHRA or track tech at a drag race crawl under the car to look at the SFI tags on the tranny , flex plate or flywheel shield
