I have a 69' Falcon that had a 302w and c-4 and I am tryin' to put a 351w and fmx transmission in it. I am trying to use the flex plate and the engine plate off of the 302. But the starter bolt holes and the engine plate holesdo not line up. Do I even need and engine plate? Can the flex plate be modified? DoI just have to get a specific engine plate.

 

yes you need the flex plate cause what ya' gonna bolt torque convertor too??? and you'll need the correct spacer plate....why?? it does just that spaces the motor and tranny apart so as everything is aligned properly
