429 Flywheel

I'm putting a 1971 429 in my 79 F350. The engine came with a 164 tooth flexplate. I have a manual transmission and see flywheels advertised for this motor with 184 teeth, 176 teeth, and 164 teeth which advertise as a 4.6 liter application. Will the larger tooth flywheels work as well? Will there be any starter issues?

Thanks,
