Chevy never does seize to amuse me with their parts. The ever-famous SB & BB universal internally
balanced motor flexplates are a riot. There's barely ANY flexplate to the bastard!! Which brings
me to my next issue to bring up. When your flywheel happens to get too thin or you purchase a
generic/cheap flywheel, be weary of weak materials. If the flywheel warps, it'd be like have a
flexplate tweaking and destorying your torque converter, which isn't impossible and is a common
problem w/ budget motor builds! Thought that was some good stuff to realize...
