unbolt the torque convertor and separate the transmission from the engine. the flex plate is attached to the crankshaft by 6 bolts that use an 11/16" socket. You'll probably need a tool to prevent the engine from turning because the bolts are usually very tight. You may need to heat the bolts to get them out. Sometimes there is loctite on the threads.

To my knowledge the only small block flex plate that doesn't interchange is the small block 400.

No. The balance is different, the engine will vibrate.
Are turbo 350 and 700r4 flex plates different?
I have installed a 700r4 in place of a 350 in my 1959 chev and used the same flex plate with no problem.
Can you transfere a 350 from a manual 77 Chevy 3.4 ton to a 68 Chevy C10 that has no motor nor transmission and is an automatic?
Yes, you can switch this set up. You will need to remove the fly wheel and bolt on a flex plate for the transmission change. There are a couple of wiring issues with the alternator change, and the HEI distributor, both are easy to over come.
Why Lower knocking coming from bottom of Chevy 350 when it is at idle i put new rode bearings in and still didnt get better?
If its automatic check the flywheel (flex plate) its probably cracked.

Will a turbo 350 fit up to a 350 ci engine and flex plate that had a turbo 400 hydromatic without changing the flex plate or torque converter?
yes, they both use the same input. HOWEVER, the transmissions are different in length and your rear-crossmember won't line up if swapping them

NO, It won't change a thing.
What size flex fan do you need for Chevy 350?
Flex fans don't work very well on 350's. If you must use one, get the biggest one you can find. Better off to get an electric fan of at least 1600 cfm.
I have a 71 El Camino with a stock 350 motor and am having trouble shimming the starter to the flex plate and was wondering if there is a different combination of starter and flex to line up correctly?
Must be the wrong starter . Chevys do NOT have shims on there starters,small or big blocks. Now ,pontiacs do. Olds or Buick not sure... CHEVY NO...........
