    Do I have to change to the larger flexplate when I swap from the 250 to the 302? Can I not run the small flexplate and corresponding torque converter?
    I know lots of you have performed this swap, so what did you do?
    Thanks,
    Brad

    no, you dont need larger, but 250 is zero balance. 303 will need either 28 or 50 ounce est balance flexplate. stock converter is usable.
