TCI® Gen 1 SBC/BBC-Style 168-Tooth Internal Balance Performance Flexplate

[jlee@CPG]

Ashland, MS – The TCI® Gen 1 SBC/BBC-Style Flexplate is SFI approved, in stock and ready to ship.

Small and Big Block Chevy engines are capable of making big horsepower. However, durability at high RPM can be compromised by an inferior flexplate. In order to prevent this common failure in performance applications, TCI® developed a precision stamped steel flexplate that is .035″ thicker than factory flexplates. The extra thickness will provide years of reliable service, making it a must have for any internally balanced Gen 1 SBC/BBC-style performance application. The ring gear is custom machined to form a perfect I.D. circle before the flexplate is welded in place on both sides. This creates a better, stronger fit that minimizes runout, ring gear bounce and other damaging problems. The 168-tooth flexplate is dynamically balanced to eliminate potentially damaging vibrations and electro-coated to protect against damaging elements. The flexplate’s integrated early style dual converter bolt pattern can be used with Gen 1 SBC/BBC-style torque converters and TH350/400, Powerglide, 700R4, 2004R and 4L60E/65E/70E transmissions. The TCI® Gen 1 SBC/BBC-Style Flexplate is the perfect upgrade for anyone running one of these strong, inexpensive and no-electronics-needed transmissions. Fully SFI 29.1 approved, this flexplate offers unmatched strength and reliability in order to avoid cracking and ring gear breakage, which are both common failure points of lesser quality flexplates under the strains of high RPM usage. It is the perfect choice for race and hardcore street applications.
