You are talking flexplate w/ automatic. Whats trashed? The ringgear? These can be replaced. I have been told that a machine shop will put a torch to them and get them real hot, and then drop on floor to shock the pieces apart. I don't know if your motor has been balanced to that particular flexplate, if it was it would be preferable to keep the original. If you just replace, the issue would be is the ringgear the same diameter (same number of teeth) as what came out of your bellhousing.

Pre 1979 460 are externally balanced, meaning that the flywheel is balanced as part of the of the assembly. 1979 and later the flywheel can be swapped out.
