The flexplate I have is supposed to be dual patterned but i'm thinking that it's not because the torque converter and flexplate holes don't line up. Its a 454 flexplate and i have a th350 trans w/ stock converter for now. Am i going to have to drop the trans and redrill the flexplate as it's already balanced?

 

are you using a big block converter? i would say they are not made for each other and would find the right flexplate or converter whichever is cheapest/easiest.

 

no it's a small block converter and the guy whole sold me the flexplate said it would fit. yeah right! lol

 

You just need to turn the torque converter to the next set of holes. There's two sets of 3 holes, and you'll see they all line up if you turn it either way to the next hole. I can see it in your picture.

 

I tried all of the holes and none line up. sucks

 

If there's 6 holes, then one of the sets of 3 has to line up. There's only two patterns for Chevy.

 

yeah there's 6 holes but all of the holes further towards the outside of the flexplate than the holes of the converter. its like it's made for a wider converter

 

looks like you have a 14 inch bolt pattern flex plate with two different patterns for 14 inch. and your converter is a 12.75 inch. are the different holes farther in or out.

 

I'm pretty sure T350 converters fit small and big blocks...i used the same converter on a small block/big block conversion..not sure whats going on here...good luck man...somtimes when u set back and look it the situation the problem is right in front of you..let us know when you figure it out.

 

Good point Craby..i think your right.
