Just checked I have the counter weight only no flexplate

Steve my buddy bill has one and its crhome plated even . He said if you call the Ford dealer and find out how much for a new one he will sell it to you for that price his is a new ford one .And he also told me for you to check , he dosent think the flex plates are diffent but isnt sure its been all long time and he always built them internally balanced

Well, the chrome will cut down on wind resistance and may yeild more RPM! But won't the chrome make it not weigh the same?? I have no clue how heavy chrome is.

Come on S Mac....Shasta is coming fast!!

Thanks everyone for checking. Kris I may take you up on the offer, I'll know after tomorrow (6-7-2010) I used to race for a Ford dismantler here, he's gonna check for me. to answer the questions, The reason for the counterweighted space was the counterweights were reduced in size to clear the slightly longer bores in the later 460 engine blocks. These later blocks I found are also the ones ford used in a 510 cid build for dump trucks. On a positive note most of the stroker kits for 460, still work with this block, but are balanced internally. Im hoping to build a little bigger motor after this season. Scott, thanks for checking on the chrome one. But, you cant really see the spacer anyways, so I think I will go with a painted one instead. I also have a deep seeded fear when ever I hear the words "just call the dealer". The flex plate is different as well, it has a small weight welded on it. Same number of teeth & same diameter though. heres a pic.

with weight

Steve I have a flex plate out of a 93 f250 your welcome to if it will work Tony

That would be awesome Tone. I'll give ya a call!

Sorry steve I can't find it any where I have the block plate that goes between the flex plate and block but I can't find the flex plate. It makes me wonder if I even had one to begin with. Tony

OHHHH! I thought he wanted whatever retail price was for it. My Bad. I will let you know if I still need it. I went ahead and just ordered a flexplate, was only $40 brank new. Still waiting to hear from Freeway aut wreckers, if nothing by tommorrow I'll give you a holler. Thanks again everyone for helping.
