Chevy V8 168 Tooth Alum. Flexplate w/Steel Gear

The Chevy V8 168 Tooth Aluminum Flexplate with Steel Gear from CSR Performance is an essential drivetrain component designed for high-performance small-block and big-block Chevrolet V8 engines paired with automatic transmissions. This flexplate acts as the crucial interface between the engine's crankshaft and torque converter, effectively absorbing rotational harmonics while ensuring smooth power transfer to the transmission.

Constructed from lightweight aluminum, the flexplate features a 168-tooth design that accommodates modern starter motors and torque converters while maintaining precise balance and concentricity, which are vital for automatic transmission operation. The integrated steel gear ring enhances durability at the teeth that engage the starter motor, preventing gear stripping and premature wear during repeated starting cycles or high-torque launches.

Ideal for Chevy V8 enthusiasts, this flexplate is compatible with Turbo 350, Turbo 400, 700R4, and 4L60E transmissions, making it perfect for street applications, mild boost scenarios, and performance builds. At just 6.15 pounds, it significantly reduces rotating mass compared to cast-iron factory units, improving throttle response and overall engine performance.
