I used the SMR adapter.

It works but next time I would go another way, either the JVX kit
MENU Home Catalog Contact Info or the ultrabell.
I chose to use the SMR for a few reasons. They are in Canada, as am I, It was thinner, 1/2 the thickness if I remember right and I bought a fully built A518 from a friend so I didn't want to tear it apart to mill off the bellhousing.
A few things... with the SMR the starter bolts in the SMALL BLOCK location and you need to cut one of the ears off the engine at the bottom so the starter will fit. They have this disclaimer which doesn't do the amputation justice... "*NOTE: simple engine block modification required to utilize stock starter". I also had to modify a couple of header tubes with my CPPA headers to fit the starter, not just dings, but cut, re route and weld....
So far everything works fine but as I say, if I did it again I would go a different way. Apparently the JVX adapter mounts the starter in the stock location and of course the Ultrabell should be the same.
My 2C.
