I had a (somewhat) cordial discussion with my DTD at Numidia this weekend and would like to think that I made some inroads into this "all V8s" need an SFI flexplate thing.
I would like to think that this ruling will be aligned with the need for trans and flexplate shields based on E.T.s and not just an arbitrary ruling based off of a "million-to-one" incident.
And I've got a "Billy question" here, since this "issue" involved the starter ring gear and not the actual flexplate itself, are Mopars going to have to have SFI approved torque converters?
