Bravo Coupler and Flywheel Question

[Kola16]

Hello all! Long story short, is there a Bravo coupler that goes on a 153 tooth (12.8") flywheel?

I am swapping my stock 350 SBC with a mild 383 SBC that will put out roughly 400+hp. Right now I have an MC-1 drive that I will run for a year or two max until I get a bravo drive. I will go easy on the poor old thing.

Anyway, I ordered a Bravo bellhousing and coupler since I will be going to the Bravo drive later, and I wanted a beefier coupler than my Alpha coupler. The issue I have is that when I went to mate up the Bravo coupler to the flywheel, the coupler is bigger than the flywheel and the bolt holes do not line up! My flywheel is only a 12.8" 153-tooth flywheel and the coupler seems to be for the 14" flywheel.

After some searching, I could not find a round Bravo coupler for a 12.8" flywheel. Is there one? I seem to have found a triangular one that does, but I like the extra bolts for peace of mind, so I am not interested in the triangular one. Or do I need to buy an entire new flywheel AND starter?

I'm thinking new starter and flywheel. Make sure the flywheel fits the earlier housing

Ayuh,.... Does the engine block have all 3 starter bolt holes,..??

Darn. I even had the machine shop balance the flywheel after the rotating assembly too. Oh well more money into the pit. Yes it does have all three bolt holes for the different starters.
