Thanks HH & O_D
It is indeed a flexplate, I assume that the mass of the large drum & planetary set in the reverse gear may provide enough mass in lieu of a flywheel. The only function seems to be to provide starter engagement, so any of those that HH mentioned should work as long as the crankshaft bolt pattern and the diameter and number of teeth on the ring gear are the same.

Guess I'm a little surprised to hear that the marine conversion uses a flexplate and not a conventional flywheel. You'd think without the weight of the torque converter, a flywheel's weight would be needed to obtain decent idle and low-speed operation. Are you sure you mean a flexplate?
