The bottom 2 are borg-warner flexplates for the early flat crank. The weights look like they would be 390. I still wouldn't use them without having the assembly balanced. They could also be 70 390, or 71-72 360.

The upper one looks like a TF727 flexplate for the later flanged crank.

Bottom ones are BW flexplates   I will admit that I dont know what a 390 weight looks like.......   Top is for a TF.

Here is the flexplate off my '69 390 AMX motor. Weight looks the same as the ones in your pictures.

I am not trying to hijack your thread Dean but I have a flexplate I can't ID. Thanks to this thread I was able to ID the one with 390 written on it.

The black one appears to be the same but has a larger hole in the center. Is it 390 as well or can it be a 360?

Moe, the top black one is someone attempt to make a BW trans/flex plate adapt to a step flange crank....usually ended up with balancing problems (vibration), I have parted out several cars that were pieced together like that and they were all non-runners.....guys gave up on them, not realizing it is not a Chevy and you can't just toss anything together and have it work.

Well, while we are at it I have one other flexplate that was in the batch that I have no clue what it is for.

Is this possibly an AMC 360 flexplate? I have a 360 that had a 727 attached to it but I do not remember this being the flexplate?

Does anyone know from the pictures?

This flex plate came out of a jeep with a turbo 400 in it, I am not sure of the engine but I believe its a 360. The three outside bolt holes are for a GM 3 bolt converter
