oh, i didnt see that...

Solution to the problem i posted earlier...from what i understand, as long as you have at least a 1/2" of thread in the block for the starter bolts, were good.....I think that this only pertains to the stock cinderblock of a starter.... i have the mini starter for the newer 90's model trucks....i did end up replacing the flex plate and installed bolts that went the length of the threaded hole in the block...believe it or not...done in shy of 2 hrs with a broke, bent sideways floor jack from walmart, a motorcycle jack, and jack stands. i set it on the ground and she sounds 1000 times different cranking her over than she did before.

the torque from the starter was shifting the starter sideways and causing the gear to bind up on the flex plate, eating into the teeth, all the way around.
