My bad, no flexplate/flywheel came with the 6.2L engine. (flexplates are flywheels for automatic transmissions from what I read)

What flexplate do I need to match the engine to the 700r4 transmission? The flexplate from the 305 motor is not going to work obviously.

I found that 700r4 come standard on GMC-Jimmys made in 1982 onwards, and I know that some shipped with the 6.2L motors.

So I went to this kickass site:
1983 GMC JIMMY Flexplate

I really hope I'm onto something. Will this flexplate work? Since the engine and trans are the same as mine?

@Irving/mos.eco.gee can you please verify the transmission (http://www.nastyz28.com/chevy-transm...tification.php) that it's the same one as THM700-R4/4L60/MD8. If that's the case then that flexplate will work, and if it's only 40 dollars I can get it this week.
