Thanks Vader..Im going to take some pics of the rotating assembly, the crank has some strange weld/fill? marks on it...the previouse owner spent quite a few $$$$ on this motor. He claims $7000. It was built by Racing Head Service. Ill post the pics tomorrow evening...Im going to wait on ordering the flexplate til you guys check this out.
