> you have the 168 tooth, or the 153 tooth flywheel? If you have a 153 tooth, you can run a newer 4.3L mini starter on it from a newer blazer. I’ve been running one on my big block for years. More clearance + lighter.

Sounds like a cool idea to me. I believe its a 153 tooth flexplate, but I emailed the guy I bought it and the converter off of just to make sure.

Heres a horrible cell pic of the engine in its resting place:
