thanx again, vette. I will read that link tomorrow (off to church now).

My engine is a late 70's 350. it's a 4 bolt main, most likely out of a pickup or suburban, not sure.

The block does have the holes for the starter, but I felt it was safer to go with the starter that I knew would work with my flywheel, hence the v6 starter that came on my 67 with the 250cid. As it is, I can't stick my finger between the starter and the headers.

I was afraid that another starter that would fit the block would not work with my flywheel.

The starter has a heat wrap, I could wrap that portion of the headers, but that's another 35.00...
