You can if the flex plate has holes in it for the bigger flywheel, but I doubt it will fit. I don't have any numbers for you, but we always got the flex plates from NAPA and the new ones had holes for both sizes, and we just had to grind off the excess ends to get them to fit the smaller flywheel.

So it is pretty safe to say that the flanges have been ground off or something along those lines and will be another problem for me lol!
Thanks Don. Josh.
