[QUOTE=J Found an old buick th350 for 150 bucks, looks like it will fit with an adapter plate, anybody ever bolt up one like that to a chevy?[/QUOTE]

Some Buick transmissions are BOP pattern. Buick, Olds, Pontiac.
Some are the corporate case which will fit both the SBC's and the BOP.
So the answer is depends on what year. It certainly would be less expensive to find one that fits without the adapter. Or switch pumps. Still have to confirm you are not mixing lock up 350 pumps with non-lock up pumps.
