350 flywheel and clutch

[65truckowner]

I am putting a 350 in my 65 chevy truck that I am restoring. I went to put the clutch on it today and the clutch was the wrong one. I have a flywheel that takes a 10 inch clutch instead of the 11 inch. I then noticed that my new starter was not going to work either because the bell housing from the 65 takes a starter that bolts in the end of the starter. SO my question is will I be ok with the 10 inch clutch?. I am using the orginal bell housing with the 3 speed transmission. As far as the starter goes do I need one from a 65 chevy truck to work with my set up?

a 11" clutch would be better IMO, but the 10" will probably work OK. You will need a starter that bolts to the bellhousing. A block mounted starter will not work with that bellhousing.

Thanks for the input.

Not sure the bellhousing mounted starter will work with that small flywheel, either.
IMO I'd opt for the larger flywheel/clutch setup so everything will line up and work.

I am using the starter and bellhousing and flywheel that were together on another engine I had. So it should work like before
