It sounds as though Don's engine builder is refering to the 28oz balance of the earlier flexplates (flywheel) as compared to the 50oz balance no doubt used in his 93 vintage engine. Does anyone know if there were any C4 trannys used after the intro of the 50oz balance? That question actually may be moot because any flexplate for the AOD, as blykins suggested, would most certainly be 50oz. And all of this talk is just skirting the issue of overkill with the C6. How much does your car weigh? How much HP? The C6 was intended for 3.5K# cars with over 350hp. In a Cobra type car this would be massive overkill with a tranny that probably weighs 100# more than the AOD. When was the last time someone saw a small block C6? As far as I know only 4V Cleveland cars would have had them, everything else would have come with the C4 or FMX (kind of a beefed up C4). Makes them kind of rare today anyway. All of these factors point to the AOD as the most logical, and the easiest, choice.
