Need 153 tooth flywheel to suit 2 pce seal block.
If your 305 flywheel was 153 tooth no starter change needed
if block doesn't have the 3 bolt holes drilled then 3rd hole can be drilled and tapped for straight across (153 starter ) pattern

no way around it huh? not lookin to take to a machine shop to do.. this motor is just used to pass inspection and will be getting yanked right after.. is the only way to know teeth count, is to coutn each tooth? or will there be a part number?

You can measure the diameter of the flexplate/flywheel. 14" = 168 tooth, ~12-3/4" = 153 tooth.
