    You will need a flexplate or flywheel with the newer 50oz. balance weight as opposed to the older 28oz. of the 70's.

    :yup:...

    The larger 157 & 164 tooth C4 flexplates are readily available in 50oz but I dunno about for the M-II trans... I believe that one is like 148 tooth...

    Also there is no boss on lower left of 5.0 engine for clutch or column automatic linkage...

    If you have a roller cam then you need a steel dist gear as the std cams use a iron gear... Stock cams in '87 truck motors are iron though, block is roller cam compatible...
