Default 10.5" GM Bellhousing and Clutch

Thinking about putting a LS3 in my 66 Nova. Can I use my 10.5" aluminum bellhousing and clutch setup. Didnt know if I could buy the ls offset flywheel and if it would work with a 10.5" clutch and pressure plate?

10.5 bellhousings don't have a starter pocket that works with the 168 tooth flywheel.

McLeod has a 153 tooth flywheel for the LS_, I don't know what starter they use.

Going old bellhousing > adapter > T56 is a good way to require major floor mods but you didn't mention trans.

Its a tremec TKO 600 five speed. I would like to keep my bellhousing and hyd clutch setup that I have now. So if I got a 153 tooth LS flywheel seems like I still would have a starter issue since they all use the straight across bolt pattern for the 153 I believe.
