Hot Rods Ford 302 bell housing size help!!

I have a Ford 302 in my 65 f100. I changed from a 3 speed and went to a top loader 4 speed.

I purchased the hydraulic clutch kit from modern driveline and went from an 11” (164 tooth) flywheel down to a 10” flywheel (157 tooth) to match their clutch kit.

now for the starter to be in the correct location since I’m going to a smaller flywheel can I buy a different starter or do I actually need to get the proper bell housing for a 157 tooth flywheel.

Thanks guys.

 

The starter is in a different location between the two.

 

Was thinking that. Now I need to find a bell housing that will work with 157 tooth flywheel and mount up to my Toploader

 

If you can find a used Lakewood, they have two mount holes for that reason

 

You can buy a new reproduction, or there's still good used ones out there...
