Where did you get the bolts for the pressure plate?
Also, can I use my 700R starter, or do I need a different one, and what would I "get one" for?

As far as I know you should be ok with the flywheel I listed as that that is a mulit year replacement engine. I see the LUK one isnt listed under a 72 but the others listed under a 72 are also listed under a 78 so I think you would be ok to use the same one I did.
The pressure plate bolts I had with the clutch setup I tried to use originally, I just used them again. You could pick up a set at oriellys, one of the greenville stores was the only one that had them local, on Laurens RD I think.

The starter needs to be a stagered bolt pattern 168 tooth to fit the flywheel. As long as you have a 168 tooth flexplate (which you probably do) then the starter you have should work just fine. Alternatively if you wanted you could go to a starter off a 96 and up vortec 305/350 for a factory mini high torque starter, which is what I did. I have an extra one of those that I was trying to sell when I thought I could use the 153 tooth flywheel if you need one.
