I have a chevy 350 sb. that will soon receive a th-700 r4 tranni. N-e ways, the engine was bought as a long block (for the most part) not including the flexplate. I bought a "hughes" brand flexplate specific for the engine (part # via summit racing is hup-hp3992). When I bolted the plate on, there was zero space to line up and install the starter. Possibly the starter is set up for a different flex plate? I don't have another starter lying around and would hate to go buy one hoping it would work... If anyone can help I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanx.

Mike.
You'll problee' hafta' get a flex plate w/ fewer teeth or get a different starter, or get a different starter drive housing for your starter N' swap em'.
