Well I was planning on keeping it a surprise but this project has turned into a bit of a nightmare. I got a deal I couldn't pass up on a 30k mile drivetrain pullout from a manual 2003 Mach1. Long story short the plans for the 5 speed swap fell through and I need a 8 bolt flexplate to get this motor in. We have been having one hell of a time finding the right one. Please, if anyone knows where I can buy the correct one immediately please let me know. From my research apparently a 99-2000 GT flexplate would work? I would like to buy it ASAP because it has been over half a year since I last drove my Marauder and im going through withdrawals :( the only thing stopping us from finishing the project is this damn flexplate. I talked to Chris at ADTR and he said the one I need is on back order. Help please!

I believe this is what you need:

Verify the TC bolt pattern though.

Oh wow. That looks right to me I need to double check with the shop. And it would ship immediately. Can anybody confirm that this would have the right torque converter bolt Holes?

Hmm. My guy said it looks right. I have credit card in hand right now but dont want to be stuck with another wrong flexplate. Can anybody chime in here before I go for it?

Have the seller measure it and verify. It's very easy. It looks correct though.

Hmm. Interesting. He left me a message saying what I need is unavailable! Fortunately it looks like the one I bought should work.

Is the Marauder torque converter Marauder specific?

The torque converter probably is marauder specific only cause of the stall speed. The bolt pattern should be the same through out fords line.
There is a a truck plate that works but I don't recall the part number. It used to be in the ford racing catalog.
I once got one of the PAX28111 plates and the converter bolt pattern was wrong so i clamped the stocker and the PAX to gether and drilled new holes in the PAX plate.
