400 and 350 blocks (all small blocks for that matter) are basically the same. Flywheels are interchangeable too if you also use same starter. That is why GM made em. Parts is parts.

This is how the bolt pattern on my starter looks. Which mini-starter do I use?

Late model replacement block
All Small block flywheels with a two piece rear main seal have the same bolt pattern and inner hub dia.. Big block,bolt pattern and center hub is also the same but some big block flywheels won't clear the elipitical shape on the small block crank.(big block rear crank hub is round). The "crate motor" one piece rear main seal uses a completely different flywheel.

SB with staggered bolt starter...
Will an in-line bolt pattern mini starter work?

Thanks for the pic. I haven't had a chance to climb underneath this weekend, but...I did find a "staggered" mini-starter which should be delivered by Tues.
