157 tooth and a 351 leaves just barely not enough room for the stock starter.
you can use a smaller 'mini-starter' but that requires some wiring changes also consider that your I6 C4 is not the same internally as a V8 C4, smaller clutch packs in the drums and probably fewer planet gears in the planetary gear sets

Hey all, the time is near to throw my rebuilt 351C 4V into my Torino. Car came stock with a 250 I6 and a C4 automatic. My research shows that it probably has a 157 tooth flexplate and that the V8s would have come with a 164, so I'm not sure if this is a simple bolt-together or not. Is the C4 worth keeping and possibly modifying, or should I explore other options? I'm not against a C6 or something like that, but my headers are allegedly for a C4 trans.
