429-460 flex plate question

Will this flex plate fit any other engines besides the 429 and 460. I'm having no luck getting rid of it so I'm hoping\looking for more options.
Thanks, Wally

Just to make sure, you are talking about the D1SZ6375A flex plate for 429/460 up to 1979 fitting block #D1VE6015AB without the weighted vibration damper spacer, correct?
If so, those are the only engines it fits. Fords, Lincolns, Mercurys, and trucks with those 429 and early 1979 and older Econolines and Trucks.

There more than one 460 flexplate, but if it also was used on 429's, it's this:

D1SZ-6375-A (replaced C8SZ-6375-A) .. A/T Flywheel (Flexplate) / Obsolete

1968/73 429; 1968/78 460; 1979 460 with block casting number D1VE-6015-A2B (internal balance).
