    I have a 300ci 6 cyl from a 65 truck in my newest project 1960 f100. I want to put a c4 auto in it. Can't find a flexplate with a ring gear. Would the ring gear from the stick fly wheel fit the auto flexplate?

    Nope never in any case...

    Assuming you are looking for a 157 tooth flexplate, it's possible to cut the weight from a 302 flexplate to make it zero balance... What I don't know for sure is if the crank bolt pattern is same...

    hmm, I think autozone sells a flexplate for 300 6 without the weight. I was wondering why.

    What's the C4 from?? If it's a case fill for passenger car it should use the 157T I mentioned... The ones for trucks use a 164T, that is slightly larger...

    The 250 used a zero balance 157T flexplate...
