Claude,
Thor's "drive plate" is what I referred to as the "flex plate".
Just one more bit of advice, and this maybe stating the obvious, but the transmission is very heavy (God only knows what the previous iron cased tranny must weigh!). I just happen to have a 727 Torque Converter in my garage, and it weighs a fair bit on it's own. With a whole transmission attached it is defintely a two man job to remove it safely.
Are you sure it wouldn't be easier to just remove the engine and transmission as one? (although that's what I did and ended up rebuilding the engine "while it was out", then the front suspension etc etc)
Good luck with it!
Kevin
