Can anyone tell me if a 94 A518 / 46RH flex plate and torque converter will work on my 1990 samll block LA motor? (starter line up etc?) or do I need a LA flex plate and converter?

The question though is your 90 motor internal or external balance and is the converter you have there an internal or external balance. BUT be warned I'm 99% sure the magnum external balance is different than the LA external.

318-LA and 5.2 magnum are both internal balance.

The 360 and 5.9 have different balance.
