What size are the flexplates that came on our trucks? SBC 350
-
Flexplate as in automatic: 153 tooth and 168 tooth.
Or are you talking about flywheel = manual?
-
Yes I meant flexplate as in automatic. I know some don't know the difference... I knew there were two as in 153 and 168, but what came stock? Did it vary? Turbo 350 trans, stock replacement starter..
-
It depends on the engine's displacement, the trans it's bolting up too and whether or not it's internally balanced.
-
It is a 350.
-
Are you needing this info to replace a broken one or?
-
I also need to do this to mine, it's missing some teeth...but I have a 6.2 diesel and a 700r4...anyone know which one mine came with...thanks
Chuck.
-
biodiesel, its 139 teeth and cheap enough to replace at under $50 bucks but buying the part is the easy part :o
-
I bought a 153 tooth flex plate for my 81 Blazer with a 350 for under $25 at Autozone.

Thanks,
Also, what direction do I need to go with a balancer? 6 3/4 or 8". FOR a 350 not 400

Bought the truck as a roller. Piecing together everything I need to install my longblock. Brackets, pullies, balancer, flexplate etc.
-
hard? isn't it as easy as sliding the tranny back and then unbolting it and then unbolting the tq converter...or am I missing something...never changed one before...

lining up a 300 lb tranny is loads of fun---and those pesky little bolts, you know, the two at the top of the tranny that the firewall likes to get in the way of. fun. ;D
-

With the bottom bolts started, you can let the engine/trans down (don't crack the dist cap) and use a long extension and swivle to run in the bolts, then raise it back up and torque them down.
-
good point. if not, it is the good ole box wrench while you sit on the engine. slowly, 1/8th of a turn at a time.
-
no distributor cap for me...:D

6.75 balancer is the one you need.

You need to give some more information. What year is your truck. What year is the engine? Is it a one or two piece rear main seal?
