    Just a quick question.

    Will an early 70's SBF C4 transmission work with a 90's 302/351W roller motor?

    I know bolt pattern's the same....just wondering about any flywheel, balance, or other diff's that might have to be addressed

    Assuming it's a case fill C4, for newer than '81 5.0/302 you'll need a 50oz, 157T flexplate... It's a aftermarket part but plenty available... Any 351 will use a orig 28oz flex...
