haha okay guys i didnt know that. i am 16 so im in the learning process 
Well theres more to my mysterious car. The side the starter mounts to was broken off! a huge piece of it. my dad wielded it back together but also!,,, my oil pan was wielded together, as if a hole was taken out of it! i have a feeling the dropped the engine and it screwed things up so my engine is very weird!

Oh and you should know that the cheap cast Eagle stuff is a step backwards from stock. From everything I see here you would have been further ahead to buy a junkyard engine.
ss.slp.ls1 made a good catch on the starter boss thing, can you get a more detailed pic of that?

On second look, the big sprocket looks like it has the correct teeth for a "silent chain" or what ever they call a non roller style chain, so if you replaced that as a set, that should be OK.

LT1 blocks are identical from '93-'97. What bolt's up to them are what differed throughout the years. You have a '96-'97 timing cover bolted to it, hence the reluctor ring on the crank snout against the crank sprocket. However you don't have a OEM '95-'97 timing set. (At least it doesn't look like the dozen or so '97 OEM timing sets that I have seen)
Also it looks as if some material of the block that the starter is supposed to bolt it isn't even there. Like it was broken off. That might explain why you don't have a stock starter and stock flywheel...
I agree with 96CapriceMgr that they sent you mismatched parts. That's why you don't order your rotating assembly parts from JEGS...
I'd get that block machined if you want it to last for a long time.

Heads look different too - look at the bolt pattern for the headers. My 95 heads had two bolt locations on the outside of the 1/2 7/8 ports - one right next to the port and another an inch away... The exhaust manifold used the outer bolt holes and the headers used the inner bolt holes.
Here's a pic of mine:
Here's your pic:
PS - On second thought, I might just be seeing gasket material covering the hole.
