When ordering a Chevy kit you must make sure that the GM starter motor you intend to use is the correct type. Chevy V8 engines were released with two flywheel and flexplate sizes; they were fitted with a 153 tooth ring gear or 168 tooth ring gear, as a result, two starter motor offsets are available.

It will also be necessary to identify the year of the engine, after 1986 the engine crankshaft bolt pattern changed. The bolt pattern is smaller as is the spigot, which locates the flywheel on the crankshaft (52.4-mm). The post 1986 Chevy small block engines are also externally balanced. One way to identify a late model Chevy engine is by the one-piece external, rear main oil seal.
