Are you using the stock fly wheel?

Re: flexplate help
 

Will the starter not hit the fly wheel? If not try to shim it some.

http://www.innerauto.com/includes/im...vy_starter.jpg go here and look at the starter the one on the left at the nose on the starter and u can see were the gear hits the bushing

Re: flexplate help
 

I would put both flywheels side by side, maybe one is offset and requires a longer nose on the starter. If there different I would use the flywheel off the 87
