I have looked everywhere and so far i still cant find a flexplate for my 383. Â*I need one for a 1955-1985 2 piece rear main seal engine, with 3.58" center diameter, 153 tooth, and externally balanced. Â*I only found 153 flexplates for internally balanced and only 168 for externally.

i have 3 options...
keep looking for a 153 tooth flexplate for my stroker possibly gte one custom made
or..
just switch to a 168 tooth flexplate and get a new starter.
or..
I can buy a balancer plate for like $20 that bolts between the crank and the 153t 350 fleplate, but i dunno about that

I have a powermaster XS torque master starter already for a 153 tooth flexplate so thats why i want a 153, if i go 168, id need to buy another $210 starter. ah i'll see.
