The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Engine Shop Which Flexplate - 230 I6 on 700r4 automatic

Anyone done a 230/250 with a 700r4 automatic and remember what flex plate they used? My 230 had a clutch on it so I don't know which to use. I need to get a starter and flex plate in the next day or so, so if you've done that stuff, it would save me a bit of trial and error. My 230 didn't come with a starter either.

Thanks O' River of Knowledge!

I've tried various web sites for them like napa online and autozone.com but its sort of like various parts would work by checking the car engine stuff and the truck engine stuff.

I used this:

I'm using a Tilton type mini-starter, rebuilt from the local auto parts store. Works great.

Great site Chuck. Well done. I ought to do the same for the 59. Didja have a part number for that flex plate or know the tooth count?

Sorry, try this

Summit part no. G100SFI, 168 Tooth SBC

Thanks mucho. I actually printed out the picture and counted the teeth from your web site!

I think I will get one from the local shop so if I have a fitment issue I can return it.

Your web site provided a wealth of info that should help me even though this is going on my 72 truck. I bought a number of bits from bowtie overdrives that should make most of the install a lot easier. You certainly had a lot of twists and turns in that tale.

What's the mileage like, ever check it?

Every fill up. Normal driving I get 16.5-17.5 but when the prices go up and I slow down, I get 19.5.
