[QUOTE="wont work, post: 362893, member: 4320"] This is still trying to be fixed. What I have learned is the 496 and 454 Gen V share the same block just different everything else. What we did was built a motor with the Gen V block, 496 head, 454 internal parts, and 454 intake and distrubutor. What all the amounts to is a big block with lots of low end power using part from this and that. It also amounts to a nightmare when finding parts at the parts store because I dont know what color the truck is is cam out of. To make matters worse GM has 6 flexplates that fit a 454 depending on year, crank, and rear main seal. I know mine is 91-96 and 1 piece rear main but it has still been a nightmare to find this. Also with the 454 internals it makes it externally balanced. Would not have known it for how smooth it ran even being all solid mounted drivetrain. I have ordered another plate and hope to have this back going in the next week or so. For future you cannot bolt a factory flexplate for a 8.1 or 454 to a turbo 400. The wholes are not the same and only aftermarket dual patterns will fit. [/QUOTE]
