Flexplate mod question

[scrwright]

I am joining non standard engine & auto gearbox, adaptor plate is sorted, flexplate is next.

I am struggling to find a flex plate for the engine I am using I can use with my torque convertor, factory ones are full of holes where I need to drill for my torque convertor. Flex plate for the gearbox is 6 crank bolt hole where the new engine is 8.

2 questions, anyone know a company that can make up flexplates? If not, is it safe to overlay/weld on the centre part of the flex plate and redrill to suit the 8 bolt crank (IYSWIM)? I am doing none of the work, will find a suitable engineering company to do any mods if required.

is to mount a Honda j series to a eunos auto box. Using the mazda flex plate would be much easier

yes (10mm), but I can weld a spacer to the engine side of the flexplate and sandwich the plate between 2 plates with the correct pcd and weld them up. Mazda flex plates have been run to in excess of 250bhp on turbo motors, mine will be about 220bhp n/a so they should cope.
