Re: 350 starter on 454?
Is that 350 starter off a truck or car? In 1986 Gm went to the 1 piece rear main seals and with that all the passenger cars got the small diameter flexplate (153 tooth) but the truck kept the larger diameter (168 tooth) like your 454 has. There is high torque SBC starts that have the extra windings and contacts just like the BB starter. You can tell if it is a high torque start by the copper tab that comes out of starter housing. High torque starters the tab come out closer to the end plate, it will require a long copper spacer on the connection from the solenoid to the tab.
