460 to C-6
Am putting a 1979 externally balanced 460 in front of a C-6 in my 79 Ford truck. Was wondering if it required the load-spreader ring just back of the flex plate or is that only on internally balanced 460's. Thanks

460 to C-6
sblume, Did it come with one?
Are you talking about the small metal shim, flat ring like deal that just has the flexplate bolt pattern on it?
I used the same year, 460 truck enigne in my 82 swap with a C-6 and there was not one on mine. The motor had never been out, and my son and I pulled it and tore it down and did the re-build, so I know for sure mine did not have one.
I would say if yours came with it, use it. If not, don't.
