HELP!! C-4 is in, starter won't engage.

[john_86stang]

Just finishing up a T-5 to C-4 swap. I am using a late model C-4 with small bellhousing, case fill out of a 79 Lincoln(it is not a C-5) I bolted up my stock starter and it like about 1/2" or so engageing the flexplate. I used a 157 tooth 50 ounce imbalance flexplate like everyone said I needed. Everything up to this point far has went together perfect. This is in an 86 GT. Will an AOD starter bolt up to a C-4? Any ideas??? Thanks
