Is the power glide a cast Iron one? All of the aluminum ones I have seen are fine spline. If you have a cast Iron trans the flex plate will probably be different but you can easily change that out. Also the starter would be different mounting on the block instead of the trans bell housing. Make sure you use the starter with a cross bolt pattern with the larger 168 tooth fly wheel and the straight bolt pattern for the 153 tooth fly wheel. To answer your 1st question the turbo 350 yoke will interchange if it has outside snap rings as used on early model 350 trans.
