SBC Flexplate - SFI- 168 Tooth- Ext. Balance

The SCAT Enterprises SBC Flexplate with 168 teeth, SFI 29.1 certification, and external balance design is a precision-engineered component engineered for Small Block Chevy engines requiring OEM-specification torque converter mounting. This single-piece seal steel flexplate delivers the dimensional accuracy and balanced mass distribution demanded by high-performance and street-driven applications where factory-correct driveline harmony is critical.

The 168-tooth configuration matches standard Small Block Chevy starter engagement geometry, ensuring reliable cold-start cranking without starter-to-flexplate clearance issues. The external balance weight placement accommodates engines balanced to factory specifications, eliminating the guesswork of matching flexplate weight to crankshaft balance characteristics. SFI 29.1 certification validates that this flexplate meets sanctioned racing safety standards for load capacity and material integrity—critical for naturally aspirated and supercharged Small Block applications. The steel construction resists fatigue cracking under repeated torque cycling while maintaining dimensional stability across temperature variations typical of both street and strip use.

This flexplate is designed for engine builders, restoration shops, and performance enthusiasts rebuilding Small Block Chevy engines for either original-specification reliability or race-prepared applications. Its one-piece seal design simplifies installation by eliminating separate seal hardware, reducing assembly time and potential leak points at the crankshaft interface. Weighting 7.3 lbs, this component integrates seamlessly into complete driveline packages where balanced reciprocating and rotating masses directly influence consistency and longevity.
