Metric 200 Flex and Trans shield
 

What are the best choices for Metric 200 flexplate and trans shield in a 98 F-body stocker? The trans also has a stabilizer bar mounted on the passenger side. Real estate is pretty tight in this car.
Thanks for input.

John, I got my trans shield from Tom Waters Race Products. The trans dipstick I use is a Lokar with the firewall mounting style. Tony

Might want to check out Scott McClay's website, for a trans shield that is compatible with the brace.

Flexplate from ATI will have the correct bolt pattern, it is the same for a PG/200/350/400 THM for a sbc.

Thanks Tom and Russ.
Tom, I noticed your Lokar mounting location when I looked at your car Sunday.
I got the same unit with my trans.
I'll check out the info you both suggested.
Thanks.

To clarify, I was asking about a flexplate shield and a trans shield. I already have the flexplate.

Thanks.

The way I understand it, 10.99 or quicker requires trans and flexplate shields.
If it's something different, someone please help clarify.

Thanks

I just reviewed the rulebook ....again.
In the Stock section, there is no reference to a shield for trans or flexplate.
In general regs. section 2.14 it says that a trans shield (SFI 4.1) required in 10.99 or quicker. A SFI 29.1 flexplate and SFI 30.1 flexplate shield is required for 9.99 or quicker.
I hope I got this right!!

I don't think stock eliminator cars that don't run in the 9's have to have the shield.

Not a class requirement in Stock and the exception is noted in general regulations.
