My new forged short block just arrived and the crankshaft is for an 8 bolt flexplate. my stock crankshaft has 6 holes. Hence my existing flexplate has six holes. My question, Is there an 8 bolt flexplate available that will fit, and have holes that will also match the bolts on my torque converter, and the proper number of teeth , ect? If so , where would be a good place to look ?Thanks for reading my post, Thanks for the help.

 

Yes any 5.4 flexplate will have 8 bolts in it and is the same thing. They were available on 4.6 engines as well,but it's a sure thing if you ask for a 5.4 one.

Don't forget the spacer that goes between the crank and the flexplate.
