This kinda reminds me of the time Woodro ran into lake in Florida. Surprised they didn't require floatation devise on all.

Has happened more times then people know, it just finally got seen on TV this year. and it wasn't a super high HP deal. I get around 3-5 calls a year telling me they found part of thier ring gear missing off a welded on ring gear and most of the time it is a SFI flexplate.
You can get a SFI mopar flexplate for $60, But I agree flexplates without ring gears should be excluded.

I'm checking now to see what is available for my application, that is made in the USA. I refuse to buy Chinese or other imported junk.

1984, 305 Chevy with 2 pc RM seal, and 153 teeth. Having a difficult finding something that says made in USA.
