Torque converter/flexplate on cast crank 340
I know almost nothing about automatics, and I can't seem to find this information anywhere.
Are all A904 Torque converters equipped with the 10" boltpattern? or do they vary?
I have a cast-crank 340 that I am putting a stock A904 trans behind as a temporary measure. The engine is externally balanced unique from other cast crank small blocks, so it needs a special "weighted" torque converter or flexplate.
B&M shows two flexplates for the cast-crank 340 on their website, one for the A904 & one for the A727:

Now here's where I get confused: The Flexplate for the A904 is 10" bolt pattern only, yet they say:
"All Chrysler flexplates have dual bolt pattern (10" & 11-1/8") except #10231 & flexplates for A-904 transmissions."
K.....but what that does not tell me is does a stock A904 always come with a 10" bolt pattern torque converter? Local trans shop guy says that's
not the case & I can't find such a specification in any of my manuals...Also: What would be the difference between B&M's 904/727 plates other than the bolt pattern??
I would hate to spend $120.00 on a flexplate that won't bolt up to my trans. And I'm not currently interested in buying a new converter.
Thanks in advance.
