use the stock Magnum flexplate there will one hole that will not fit the torque converter by 1/8" open this hole to fit the Magnum uses a neutral balance converter 96-up You can run a mechanical fuel pump usibypassng the older Vbelt stuff & a cam extension kit from Hughes Racing Using a Professional Products Crosswinds intake will allow you to use all V belt accessories 78 & back including the correct bypass hose for the waterpump

You'll be very happy with the swap...great performance from a very very mild engine. A member here swapped one in my LRT prior to me purchasing it...pulled down around 17mpg on the hwy, reasonably quick (15.1 @ 91 w/ a race wt north of 4100lbs through '79 log manifolds), pulled 23" of vacuum. Not many (any?) better alternatives out there in my opinion for the price.

I think on the 2001 or 2002 and later blocks they removed the A engine mounting ears on the front of the engine.
