Another option would be to get a copy of the adapter plate Mark Goodman used to make and then find a used small block shield. That also allows you to use the 130 tooth flywheel, but puts the starter in the low position.
Lou (Dart 270) on the Slant board has the one I had made. I think he would loan it out so you could copy it.
Wish you hadn't suggested that.
That's really the right direction I should be going, solves a lot of other issues down the road.
Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
