Was looking at flexplates and seems most are .035 thousandths thicker than stock. Does this effect converter to flexplates clearance.
-
Unless the converter to flexplate clearance is already on the tight side.
0.035" is not likely to make any difference.
As long as you have to pull the converter "forward" to mate to the flexplate, you're good.
Clearance is normally 1/16 to 3/16 or even 1/4"
1/16 is tight and 1/4 is a bit loose.
1/8 to 3/16 = ideal.

I am not sure about all flexplates but the one I had on my 427, I believe it was a Hays, was offset to match the OEM. But it was a thick SFI unit.

Sorry for the delay had surgery in between. It is actually a concern it’s on the close side I’m not we’re my notes are but I think I only had like 90 thousandths. So I don’t want to shorten things up.
