yes you can install the 153 tooth flywheel. The only thing you have to change on the starter is the front nose cone. The aluminium piece. You will need to find the one that has the mounting bolts both going on the very back part of the engine. Although the 3 bolt one may already have the pattern. All it does is space the starter in further. The other engine might have the smaller flywheel. I know that the earlier ones did like up to at least 1970. You can also get the flywheel from a small block chevy too.
