Use the starter off the engine you rebuilt and you should be good to go.

If you don't have that starter, check the mounting hole bolt pattern between the rebuilt block and the starter. If the bolt pattern is the same, it should work.

If you are talking about an automatic trans There are two types of starters and two sizes of flexplates that apply during those years, 14" 168 tooth plate uses the starter that has the staggered bolt pattern and the 11.5" plate 153 tooth uses the starter with the side by side bolt pattern. Hope this helps you out?
