Default Need a replacement flex plate/ Flywheel 60E

I cracked my flexplate. I'm looking for a replacement. Anybody got any experience? I have 6.0 with a PI converter and an 80E. I was told the 80E flexplate wont work. The one I have now (that's crakced) is dished not flat.

80 wont work, but i believe all the other posted will. You could probably find one on here cheap with a wtb thread relatiely easy

I am running the TCI with my 60-80 conversion converter and have not had any issues with it.

I also replaced my cracked flexplate on my 01 Tahoe with a TCI. Much beefier unit and I had no issues in over 100K with it.

You wouldn’t happen to have the part number handy would you? Ordered a TCI last night. He said it was flat not dished but it's thicker so it will work. The guy at TCI was kind of a douche about it. So if it doesn’t fit, I'll be calling him direct.
"Sir!, we wouldn’t sell an LS1 flex plate that doesn’t fit an LS1" I was like "No **** Sherlock" and proceeded to explain about it being an 80E, 80E converter with an LS1 3 finger bolt pattern and he said the same thing..."Sir!, we wouldn’t sell an LS1 flex plate that doesn’t fit an LS1"

I almost hope it doesn’t fit so I can verbally dick slap him in the forehead.

The TCI 753 is for 60E style converters- 3 bolt, long snout- which you have on your PI. All TCI plates are flat, but they have spacers welded at the bolt holes, so the converter ends up the same position as with the dished OE plate. Might have to clearance the 80E dust cover a little for the heads of the converter bolts though. Had to do that when I used that plate.
