    It's not 28oz like the older 302/289 either...

    The 250 C4 is the same as a 302 C4. The flex plate is different so you will need the 302 flex plate. The "Ring Gear" is inside the rear end.

    are you sure the '70 has a 250 and not a 170/200 in it?
    is it a '70 or '69.5?

    Ring gear is also the correct term for the replaceable gear on a manual trans flywheel... While not really correct, sometimes it's used when referring to a automatic flexplate as well...

    Considering he's from Quebec, and some french words don't translate to english the same..
    You'll need to match the flex plate (ring gear) to the balance of the V8 you use.
