I installed a 1992 5.0 in my 70 trail rig. I am running the 92 harmonic ballancer and all of the serpentine stuff. The 92 5.0/302 roller originally came with a manual trans behind. I removed the flywheel/clutch, pilot bearing and installed an early Bronco C4 behind it. I went with a 164 tooth 50 ounce flexplate and a early Bronco automatic starter.
My problem is the weight that is welded on the flexplate is making contact with my new automatic engine plate.
I just pulled the trans out and ordered another 164 tooth 50 ounce flexplate from Autozone (again) to see if it was just a manufacturing defect.
I guess I am looking for advise just in case I am going in the wrong direction here or have the wrong parts.
Keep in mind I ran this for a bit and it screeched like hell on start up or under heavy throttle when the flexplate would flex and contact the engine plate but I was able to drive around for a bit before I pulled it.
