Do yourself a favor and ditch the Slim Jim for a TH400. It’s a pretty straight forward conversion.

Some combinations:

If your starter mounts to the block, and you find a BOP pattern TH400 - then no.

Starter mounts to block, Chevy pattern trans - yes.

If your starter mounts to the trans:

BOP TH400 - you would use a starter mounting plate. You could purchase one, or fabricate one your self based on plans in Pete McCarty's book.

Chevy pattern trans - yes.

I have a '67 Buick TH400 in my '63 Grand Prix, by using a starter mounting plate.
