quick question about starters

[Low&Slow83]

ok the block im using my my V8 swap in my S10 is from a 75-77 K5 blazer. 4 bolt mains blah blah all that stuff. its a 350. It looks like there are three mounting holes for a starter to where i could use either a straight bolt pattern or an offset. the mini starter i was looking at has the straight across bolt pattern. will this bolt up to it? Thank you in advance

It has two differant patterns because there is two differant diameter flexplates. i forget the tooth count. most trucks ive seen have the big flexplates. most aftermaket starters ive used have four holes inline for using both flexplates. GM used a inline or a staggerd i think the inline is for the big one

so would i be okay to go ahead and get the inline one? or should i just count the teeth and go from there. and i believe it was 153 and 168. something like that

Does the one your looking at have the four holes? 153 168 sounds right. On my old school stuff i use a small flexplate and a starter from a 92-96 LT1 corvette there reduction type built by nippon denso and very reliable no heat soak & crap like that
