As you can see this engine has a double groove pulley, does that mean it came out of a vehicle with power steering, and if so what all do I need to put power steering on it

No, not at all. You can leave it like this and just not use that part of the pulley.

And if I were to put power steering on it what all do I need to do it, just the pump or?

You need to install the pump, hoses and another steering box.

I’m pretty sure I need to buy a bigger flex plate, but was just going to make sure if this one would work or not because I have searched everywhere and I can’t find a perfect fit.

Okay, If you can find out what year it came from, I might be able to help you find one.

The plugs gt gaped at.035. Use a spark plug gapper.

Wires and the cap setting attached.

Might be a long shot but I’m putting this 350 turbo transmission on but don’t know anything about the linkages. Is there anything I need to buy new? Not sure what the old transmission was but I know the dipstick doesn’t fit.

You had a powerglide.

You now have the turbo 350.

You need the correct dipstick for that transmission.

It is possible the driveshaft length may be different.

When you install it, check it and see if it is correct.
