Does anyone know if it does? Would a gutted torque converter hang on the flex plate?

worked just fine for me. i made up an engine run/test stand using an 4eat diff housing and gutted TC when i was testing the Eg33's as drivetrain options for the 962 kit cars.. I balanced the TC after cutting it though. There's hardly any weight to it once it's all cleaned out, probably less than that of a bare Sti flywheel.

Other option is to use an Sti six speed front diff housing and a regular FW and manual starter motor. diff housing on that tranny remarkably similar to 4eat,
