Starter/flywheel

I did a motor swap on my 76’ F-150 302 with a 95’ 302. Went to start it for the first time and realized my starter was bad. Got a new one today and it still wouldn’t start. While I was inspecting the starter for the issue I realized the 95’ 302 flywheels gears were not lining up with the 76’ starter. Lucky, I still had the parts truck from the swap and it seems that the bolt pattern for the 95’ starter is the same. Question is, do I need to put the 76’ flywheel on the 95’ motor or can I keep it the same and use the 95’ starter?

'76 flywheel is 28 oz. imbalance.

'82 and newer is 50 oz. imbalance.

See if the '95 starter will work.

Will do, it seems that I went from a 157 tooth flywheel to the 164. I’m not sure what bellhousing I have on the C4 trans. Is there anything else I need to alter for the different tooth flywheel?
