Most of the aftermarket flex plates are drilled for both Ford and GM patterns.  If it isn't, I'd just get a new one that is.  They are fairly inexpensive.  I have had a TCI that was drilled that way, and 2 JW's that are.

That external balance may be a problem. You may be able to drill the glide pattern on it? You can also have a converter made to fit your flexplate.

If the flywheel has the counter weight on it still,why couldn't you just drill the PG pattern on it?

I have to see what kind of flexplate he has in there now and if the 460 that came with the Tbird is external or internal balance, the car already had a 460 in it before but it dropped a couple valves and tore up the iron head , its the one I showed pictures of a while ago and asked if it could be fixed, and if his is internal than we will drill the flexplate. I don't recall the scat having both patterns but I could be wrong.

Some of those dual bolt patterns are glide & turbo 400.

To many "zeros" Dave... N93001-X is the flywheel/flexplate for a Turbo/Powerglide to external balance 460..

That flexplate has BOTH the small and large GM torque converter bolt patterns.
