Chevrolet High-Performance Starters Small Block & Big Block

Chevrolet Flywheels Tech Info:

There are two different diameters flywheels used on
Chevrolet Small-Block V8, Big-Block V8, and V6/90-degree engines.
Large flywheels are 14" in diameter, and have a 168 tooth ring gear.
Small diameter flywheels are 12-3/4" in diameter, and have a 153 tooth ring gear.
The difference in flywheel diameters requires two different starter housings.
Starter noses used with large diameter flywheels have two long offset bolt holes.
Starters for small flywheels have two bolt holes (one long) & (one short)
which are paralleled to the back of the block.
Most Chevrolet blocks are drilled for both types of starters.
If you change your Chevrolet's flywheel, from a 12-3/4" (153 Tooth ) to a 14"(168 Tooth)
you will need to be sure to install the correct starter for the flywheel diameter.
Most of the small high torque mini starters may accommodate both
12-3/4" 153 Tooth & 14" 168 Tooth flywheels.
