Two entirely different starters. One won't work on the other application. The 14", 168 tooth flywheel uses a offset bolt hole nose piece. The 12-3/4", 153 tooth flywheel uses a straight across bolt pattern on the nose.

What size is your flexplate? This determines what starter you need.

It looks like you need to do some shimming.
