The fellow claimed the trans was behind a gas tall deck, so I assumed it would bolt up to my small block. However, Grigg you make a good point - I would need to find the right flexplate, because I think the tall decks are externally balanced like the other BBC's. The whole reason I was chasing down this idea was to cut out the effort of setting up a clutch and ease of drivability.

So after the advice given here, I think I should just stick with the 465. It sounds like i'll be chasing my tail trying to find all the parts to make this work. I hate chasing parts around that I end up paying top dollar for.

Thanks for the advice.
