What is the thing between the engine and the tranny? No, not the convertor. Its the thin plate thingy. Anyways, is this engine specific or tranny specific. In other words, I have a Big block that had a powerglide along with the pg flexplate. I want to run a C6 so I got a new flexplate but do I need a new plate thing to go between the two? Is it a inspection plate maybe????
Help,

It's a block plate which is a shim for the bellhousing. 460 or small block C-6 block plate. They are starting to get a little hard to find believe it or not.

So if I WAS running a powerglide and wanted to switch trannys, I would have to get the plate specifically for the C6 if I swapped the C6 in. Right?

If you want to put the C-6 in just get a plate from the junkyard. Any 351M-400, or 429-460 that had a C-6 will have the correct one.

Buddy of mine had one made with extra "ears" on the sides so he could use it like a thin midplate. He had a machine shop cut the center hole so it was located ont he crank correctly then he cut the rest of the holes himself. Used .090 flat steel.
