Had a miscommunication and now have a 168 tooth flexplate installed. Figured out tonight that the stock starter wouldn't work, DOH! Running SLP midlength headers ( single cat version) and wondering if anyone knows if the staggered bolt pattern starter for the larger flexplate has header clearance problems?

Thanks, Michael

 

I don't know if this will help much but I have AS&M's (basically the same as your SLP's) and have an McCloud flywheel installed. When I replaced my starter with an aftermarket one I bought a mini starter from sumitt. Even the mini starter had issues fitting in and it was adjustable. Good luck.
