Flexplate 168T External Balance 86-up

The Flexplate 168T External Balance 86-up from ALLSTAR PERFORMANCE is a precision-engineered component designed for high-performance engine builds and custom automotive applications. This flexplate serves as the critical interface between your engine's crankshaft and automatic transmission, effectively absorbing vibration while transferring rotational power with minimal parasitic loss.

The external balance design of this 168-tooth flexplate is specifically tailored for use with externally balanced crankshafts, which are common in modified LS engines and big-block Chevys. This design incorporates a counterweight system forged directly into the flexplate, which helps distribute harmonic forces effectively across the drivetrain. The flexplate is engineered to maintain tight tolerances on tooth indexing and balance characteristics, crucial for preventing vibration resonance and reducing stress on transmission input shafts.

Engine builders and automotive enthusiasts will find this flexplate particularly beneficial when upgrading their powertrains for forced induction or when installing different engine families into their vehicles. Its compatibility with modern starters featuring a corresponding pinion gear ensures reliable engagement and smooth cranking during cold starts and repeated cycling, making it an excellent choice for performance applications.
