    Yup! 250's have the same bellhousing as a 302. i know thats true on the old ones for sure but it might not work for the newer 302's

    if it's a 250 C4 it will fit any 302/5.0. just make sure to run the correct flexplate for the motor...:yup:

    the C4 i have behind my...'93 5.0 347 roller motor came from a 250 6 cyl.
    it has a 28 oz. 164 tooth flexplate...

    Frank,
    I think the 250 six uses a zero balance flexplate. The 28 oz 164 tooth came from pickups normally.
