305 to 350 motor swap
305 on top and 350 below
1992 chevy caprice 5.0 swap to 1992 chevy Silverado 350
my question is what is the name of the insert piece that is attached to the center of the rear main seal. On my 305 its just and open port to slide the torque converter in but on my 350 motor it looks like it has some kind of gear or spindle inside of it. The center piece where the mark is, and also I had one guy to say I could take this piece out and should fit right into my torque convert or even leave it in.
I'm a newby at this but to me it seems like something where a 5 speed transmission would go

So my next question is, would I have to remove the pilot bearing to run the motor with my 700r4 transmission or could I leave it in and just bolt everything back together.

I am not certain on that. If it were me, I'd pull it out. I'd also make sure that you have the correct flywheel too. Make sure the teeth all look good, or toss it.
