5.9 Weighted Flexplate

First the 518 converter should not be weighted. The 518 FLEX PLATE should be weighted. If you elongate one hole, you MIGHT be able to use the 518 flex

Otherwise, you need to order a BM aftermarket weighted flex FOR A 5.9 MAGNUM (NOT a 360LA)

I haven't read much about the magnum weights being on the converter. But... it is. And I've bought a few converters over the years when I replaced the transmission in the truck. I ordered the converter for the year, make, and model, they've always been weighted.

I believe they went to a weighted 5.9 OEM flex plate and nuetral balance converter in 1996. I paid 35$ for one at the junkyard. Just tell them you need the later flexplate. I did the one hole elong mod and run a nuetral balance converter with 7/16" bolts.

I'm thinking your correct. I have a '94 model engine. Which would be before the time of weighted flexplates if your statement is correct.
