I have a 85 z28 I converted to standard,it has a the t-5 out of an 84 and a 350 motor,i bought the starter for the 84 camaro beacus ethe old 350 starter did not fit in the t-5 case.
The bendex will Not engage the flywheel i cant get it close enough we have tried alot of shims in dif combonations,and it ended up with the end of the starter breaking off,anyone have any ideas?

 

try an LT1 or ministarter, and see if this helps.
