which starter to use?

Hey guys was wondering what starter i would need to get for my car, I am in the middle of putting a 71 350 (2 piece RMS) with a t5, I know the flywheel needs to be the 158 tooth out of a (84? camaro) but not sure as what starter to get, i know my auto one wont work. I also heard the possibility of having to tap in a extra hole if i cant get the right starter and i want to avoid that!

Doesn't matter where the flywheel comes from, all 158 tooth sbc flywheels will be the same. If you get a ministarter, you'll get better header clearance, and most all of them are set up for either flywheel, and either straight or staggered bolt patterns, so for about the same price you can get a nice mini that covers all the bases.

That's what I did. Worth every penny.
