You should be able to use the LS1 starter. The teeth on the flywheel stay in the same position relative to the block. On the trucks that use the spacer they have a flat flexplate and the spacer goes in front of the flexplate......on yours the flexplate is probably dished so you will put the spacer behind the flexplate.

How did you shave 600lbs off without stripping it? Well, actually 600+you. They are 3400lbs stock. These cars have very little to remove for weight (all weight is in the structure) . Completely stripping the car, replace back window and carbon fiber hood and I don't think that would even get it sub 3k.
84-85 were non ABS C4s so that dropped alot of weight right there.

Cool link.
Just got my LS1 84 C4 yesterday. I'll scale it soon, but hope it is well under 3000.
Forgive my ignorance, but is the fuel pump you plan to use internal or external?
