Need flexplate data

[Verno]

I'm in process of swapping out a 94 4.0 for a 96 4.0 that I got from a fellow member. The newer motor has eight bolt crank for flexplate mounting and my old motor has a six bolt flexplate. I need to know what part # or # of teeth, pitch, and O.D. will work.
Can't go any further until I get a flexplate.

the flexplate/starter dimensions are identical 91-2001 OHV

Only the number of holes in the center changed.

So from your dealer you want a 96+ 8 bolt flexplate, bolts, and spacer

However

Your 96 engine came from an auto, it should already have these parts

check PM

Closing this

Just to ost the result I had to order one for a 97 4.0 to get the 8 bolt from O'reilly's.
The motor I got didn't have a flexplate or spacer on it.
