You should be able to reuse your flexplate, but possibly plan on modifying your rear tranny mount, cooling lines, and shift linkage. You may possibly have to have a different starter, but I'm not real familiar with small blocks. Mabye even some driveshaft work, too.

If you do a search on AOD in this forum you will find a wealth of info on this installation. Note that there are many combinations of 302 and 351 flex plates that will bolt together but not work because of vibration. Also I believe there are 2 different diameters of flex plates too to add to the puzzle.
