Here's the deal: I converted a Volvo wagon to SBF/AOD. I literally drove it drove it twice! It's maiden voyage was to Fastenal which is within a half mile. The second trip was to Fastenal again for a tap. The car sat the winter in my garage and I've since decided to go a different direction.
The flexplate is new. It was only used to balance a rotator. It is NOT in the engine trans assembly pictured. I am keeping the one mounted to the engine.
