Under the thread "scrubs" Doug T posted an awesome picture - very nice package. I'm curious about the starter motor install in your build.  Noticing how the bell housing is opened up at the starter location, does it therefore allow the use of the original starter?  I have never done this conversion nor known anyone who has on a Y-block but always read the geared starter must be used with this conversion.  The AOD is one of the most bullet proof 4 speed automatics our there - how has it worked out for you??
