Will one from a 5.0 chevy work on a 350? Trying to save $ but I can buy another if need be.

What year is the 350 you want to put it on.  The earlier flexplates were neutrally balanced, but IIRC the ones from the mid 80's on up were externally balanced.

You should be fine if both engines are the two piece rear main seal. (pre '86)

The only small block that I know of that was externally balanced was all years 400SB.
