    the snatch block for a M543A2 is a 8 inch single sheave, 5/8 rope, 10ton working load. I don't understand how they can use that on a winch rated for 10ton.

    Questions about Starter and flex plate for M1009

    I have a M1008 w/bad engine so I decided to put a SB 350 in it. The torque converter would not bolt up to the flex plate of the 350. I don't think the flex plate would bolt to the 350. So does that mean the Olds and Chevy flexplate is different?
