Sells new for $147.
I'll sell this one for $80 less shipping (I know shipping can be expensive these days, so depending on where I'm shipping to, we can potentially work out a deal over PM).
This came off my HT383 short block and has exactly zero miles on it.
There's an important caveat though. Read carefully below.
The product reviews seem to indicate its hit or miss on whether these GM flexplates fit in terms of getting sufficient clearance to the torque converter (the 1/8-3/16" gap needed). It seems to fit on some people's cars but not others. This one that came with my new HT383 had the no-clearance problem. I ended up using my old one after I took the measurements prior to installing the transmission to the engine.
So before I sell it, you'll have to take some measurements and we see if it'll fit. Since again, it seems like it fits on some people's cars but not others. The sale will be final, so I want to make sure it'll fit your car before I sell to you.
Basically if you measure on the transmission from the bell housing flange to the mounting pads on the torque converter (with the converter fully seated on the input shaft)...
Then measure from the flexplate mounting surface on the crankshaft to the bell housing flange on the engine.
I can then measure the flex plate.
If the flexplate is going to work, the math should work out that you have a minimum of 1/8" between the fully seated converter and the flex plate before pulling the converter forward to mate to the flex plate. Typically the maximum gap should be .1875 (3/16"), but if you're a little more than 3/16, you can close the gap with a shim/washer to get back into the range of 1/8 to 3/16 gap. Typically one thin shim or washer is ok. More than that and there's probably some wrong somewhere.
Let me know.
