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 ![shruggy shruggy](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/custom/shruggy.gif) 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 ![wave wave](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/custom/wave.gif)

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 ![down down](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/custom/down.gif) I've never heard or saw a stock full size solid Mopar flex plate break or crack ![shruggy shruggy](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/custom/shruggy.gif) 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 ![shruggy shruggy](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/custom/shruggy.gif)
