No, you will need the specific A/T 302/351W engine rear plate.

Would you know why that is?
I can see 2 different parts & numbers but the only thing I can see maybe being different is the auto plate being open at the bottom to get to the converter bolts, then there is a 2nd plate to cover this hole.
The MT would be a full plate covering the bottom as there is no need to get to the converter bolts as there are none.
Am I wrong?
If that is the case he could use the AT plate with a MT with no mods or the MT plate on an auto and cut the bottom open to get to the converter bolts then bolt it back in place.
I also heard/seen posted 2 different starters between the AT & MT trucks.

But is it in the plates OR the starters OR both?
I ask because we e know they make 2 different starters and 1 can not be used in the others place.
I had 2 plates for my 300 six and when I put them together the starter openings were way off.
I didn't take a picture but one was for MT the other for AT.
the other thing I found strange was the AT one was aluminum the MT was steel. Aluminum had no part number but the steel one did just can't post it now.

Saw a pic somewhere with the 157 and 164 tooth plates overlaid. It was pretty obvious that the starter was relocated. Keep in mind, the starter bolts to the transmission, so the whole combination of transmission/flex plate or flywheel/ engine plate must stay either 157 or 164 tooth count. I believe the starters will interchange and the difference in snout length is for manual or automatic transmission.

Seriously though, I think I have the engine plates and fuses/breakers/fuse links sorted. Thanks for the suggestions.
