Small-blocks? What's different? They're both one-piece-rear-main engines, so the bolt circle is the same, as is the offset weight. Note that the aftermarket is not good at getting the offset weight on the flexplate correct.Vortec takes one flexplate. tbi another,

If you said "700/4L60/4L60E" takes one flexplate, and 4L80E takes another, I'd be more likely to believe you--although I'm thinking that may not be true either. I just don't know for sure.
What is absolutely true is that two-piece rear main engines take a different flexplate than one-piece rear main engines; and SBC 400s take a two-piece seal flexplate with an offset balance weight unless they've been re-balanced in the aftermarket.

4L80E definitely has its own flexplate with 6 evenly spaced bolt holes on a larger diameter. I have been on TCI for years to offer the right plate for the SBC 4L80E guys as well as the big block 4L80E guys. Their dual drilled BS they try to market for the application does not do us any good unless we want to leave out the 3 bolts that do not line up.Small-blocks? What's different?

I’m not sure what plug you’re talking about here, like a plug under the rear main seal?
Have any of you guys oil primed a motor when it’s pulled out? I’m not sure what to do with the lines by the oil filter, I could prime after it’s installed but I’d like to see if I have any other leaks while it’s out.
my bust, may have been thinking one piece seal vs 2 piece.Small-blocks? What's different? They're both one-piece-rear-main engines, so the bolt circle is the same, as is the offset weight. Note that the aftermarket is not good at getting the offset weight on the flexplate correct.

The big blocks DO have two separate flex plates for the one piece. The Gen 5 has a slightly different weight amount and location than the Gen VI ones do, so it can be an issue to use the wrong one. It will still bolt up, and it will not shake itself apart, but it is noticeably slightly out of balance if you have the wrong one.my bust, may have been thinking one piece seal vs 2 piece.
