Need Bellhousing type starter help

Cliffs notes: Using the cast iron bellhousing between a 400 small block and a SM465. Have never had the bellhousing mount type starter before. Fresh rebuilt starter, correct external balanced flywheel. Starter sounds kind of tight like one of those pull cog friction cars from my childhood (OK last week) hehe. Do they make some kind of shim for these type starters (part#)? It gets REAL tight when it gets hot. Will probably put a heat blanket on it, but I still would like to loosen it up a bit even when it is cold. Any remedies? Let me know what you have done. Can I modify a block type starter to work with this bellhousing? Thanks, Mike
