Default Bell Housing help

This is part 2 of my request for starter help. I am thinking maybe i have the wrong bellhousing. I have a small block (350/350hp) with a big flywheel. My flywheel barely clears the bell housing and there is no way i can get the starter in. when i bought the car there was no starter there. Need help

The big bellhousing should have some numbers on it. I think the last digits should be 621. Check to see if the starter holes are staggered. They should be. If they are straight across it is for the small flywheel.

The block is tapped for both starters. The starter housing itself is staggard. The small flywheel starter has the bolts straight across
