Mike Mileski Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 Auto flywheels are called flexplates. They have a "thick sheetmetal" body, as opposed to the thick metal of a flywheel and are much lighter. They do have the same outer diameters and number of teeth as flywheels do. I think most of us V8 Zers use smaller diameter, 153 tooth flywheels/flexplates. Mike Mileski Tucson, AZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug71zt Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 If you are changing out a manual tranny on the stock 260 engine - don't forget to get the flexplate spacer from the same place you get your flexplate. It is stuck on the end of the crank between the crank flange and the flexplate. You need it to put an auto on the L-series.
