No. Those flex plates are a piece of crap. Its like taking one of those throw away aluminum pie pans and bolting it to the engine and expecting that to hold up. The new ones at least for the 6 liters that I've put on are slightly thicker and around the center hube it wasn't notched anymore, just a smooth circular hole the same size as the hub. FWIW the bolt setup is completely stupid. Its like putting a 3/8 inch bolt in a 1/2 inch hole. Those stupid little "bushings" don't do a bit of good.

Glad I used my 60e ATI flexplate. Hope thats what it is. The last tick I had that I thought was a flexplate turned out to be a bad cam lobe and lifter.
