Been at this week end car show down our way.
Had the 70 R/T Dodge Charger there along with the Mach 1 which my wife drove in the morning rain with a Detroit Locker in the back.
Parked next to my buddies 67 Shelby GT 350 and my other friends 69 Mercury Cyclone CJ 428 GT. We have a lot of great cars down here.

Comp Cams hydraulic flat tappet.
428 Service block ,PI intake and hooker long tubes, that's all the info i have.

Trans back in and tested it ,no leaks and flex plate is great.
My 17 yo daughter is driving the car back into the house, she loves the car.

It's a runner, give it a work out on the weekend.

Well, it's back together and i have fired it up.
Got another flex plate same brand and part no but it was different, after truing up the converter mounts and fitting it, it works.
This aftermarket flex plate is a pos compared to the original'
Going for a run later in the week, fingers crossed.
-
Going to do that also, over this crap , just wanna drive it.
-
Ok trans is out, i am getting quick at this.
Found one of the converter mounting tabs was fouling on the balance weight which distorted the flex plate and caused rubbing on the block spacer plate.
When i compare the factory flex plate against the aftermarket one sure is a difference.No holes for the drain plugs.
Get a new flex plate and start again
-
Will check tonight but very difficult to see the drain plugs .
-
I think the flex plate has no drain holes , and the plate being externally balanced would it be possible to drill 2 drain holes and not effect the balance of the plate.

Thanks guys for the help, just got out from under the car and i think i have seen the problem.
I have a stall converter on the C6 , don' t know who made it, any way i can see the converter mounting studs are not standing perpendicular , they look like the stud is coming through the plate at an angle. They are probably distorting the flex plate. So out comes the trans again but this time i will remove the rhs header after i jack the engine up and remove the rh engine mount and brackets and drop the drag link and idler arm. Then unbolt the trans on a jack and twist trans to the right and let it down. Sounds easy, but a right PITA. so over all this shit.
If the experts at the trans shop did not screw up the front pump seal i would not have to deal with this. I did my apprenticeship in a Ford dealership and i used to do all of the auto trans.
Sorry about the rant but i am really pissed at the moment and ford power train headers are looking good and i am old cranky man lol
-
Changed my factory 428 cobra jet flex plate to a new pioneer 224 flex plate, now i have a noise from the trans and the flex plate has run out.
Really shitted off now , what is the best brand to use as the pioneer one is the only one i can get down here easily.
