I'm quite sure you have exactly what you need there Mark. I am currently running my original bellhousing with the 283 (same as 6 cylinder) starter with the straight across bolts. That is the only starter that works with that flywheel as far as stock starters go.

This is good, as the old 250 has a straight across style starter in good working order. I was worried that only a Iron nose starter would work/fit. Thanks Carl.

The beauty of GM and it's interchange. You can pull out a 194 and drop in a 427 using the 194 starter and flywheel/flexplate on the 427! All interchanges except 292, 400 small block and 454. And of course the 86 and up with the one piece rear seal use different flywheels/flexplates.

4speed427, do you think the 9 1/2 clutch from the 194 would live behind a big block?
But on the serious side there are some small blocks not drilled to take the starter for the large flywheel. A friend years ago put a manual in his car and used a truck flywheel and truck aluminum bell housing. The last thing was the starter and he found that he only had one bolt hole. Ended up using a cast iron truck bell and the starter that bolts to the bell housing.
