Mad Mike, I am only replacing the engine.The car originally had the 5 speed. The bell housing on the five speed didn't have enough clearance for a 168 tooth flywheel. It was originally 153. ANd yes I had to order it cuz there arent many made with 153 tooth, and large crank holes.

And your 305 starter will not bolt to the 350 block now with the stagered holes??? Did the 305 not have the stagered patern on the starter?

My '87 IROC has a 350, with the T5. Granted...the T5 just died, but the point is, it works in it..

OK Guys, I drilled it out, and it is working great. The starter that is, I an not getting ignition, but that is another post. SO thanks for all your help, and advice, and My guy at Oreilly's found a starter for this application if any of you ever run into this again.
