Essential 1978 Chrysler Newport Performance and Racing Products

B & M – Flexplate (Part No.10238)

Flexplate

from

$91.99
Fits 1970 and up Chrysler, Dodge, Plymouth with a 440 CID engine using a Torqueflite A727 automatic transmission. Works with an externally balanced high performance forged crank. Has dual bolt pattern, 10 in. and 11-1/8 in. SFI spec 29.1 approved, NHRA and IHRA legal for all classes. SFI certification sticker included (re-certification required every 3 years). Ideal for street applications to extreme duty racing and high RPM (above 6,000) use. B&M’s new Radial Tension Technology puts a new spin on flexplate technology. As engine performance levels increase, stronger flexplates become necessary. Until this point, stronger flexplates meant thicker flexplates. This works, but it adds unwanted weight and prohibited the flexplates from working as it was designed. Flexplates are designed to provide a protection against converter and transmission run out or OEM misalignment, which will cause transmission and/or converter failure. A rigid flexplate gives no protection. The ultimate design for a flexplate is extreme strength, flexibility and minimal weight. B&M’s new RTT performance flexplate accomplishes this goal. B&M’s design allows for the removal of unnecessary material from non-critical stress areas. Less material means less weight giving you the benefits of a lightweight, flexible design with thicker material for maximum strength!

Product Features:
  • NHRA and IHRA Legal For All Classes
  • Includes SFI Certification Sticker
  • Ideal For Street Applications
  • To Extreme Duty Racing
  • To High RPM Use

The APS starter features all new components beginning with a three horsepower motor. This power is used to crank over the reduced 4.4:1 gear set to deliver great torque to the engine’s ring gear to get the engine turning. The armature is balanced during assembly and is guided by two ball bearings for smooth engagement and thousands of starts. The downsized housing clears most headers and oil pans, but just in case, we made the billet mount so it can be clocked in different positions to help in tight applications. The assembly is powder coated MSD red and will stay looking good, even though it’s underneath your car.

Product Features:
  • Mount Can Be Clocked To Assist In Mounting
  • Downsized design helps clearance issues w/oil pans and exhaust
