So I bought a 98 k1500 and it had a 305 in it but the block was cracked. The truck came with a spare 350 motor to swap in. I took the 305 out and started putting the 350 in. I was trying to put the starter on but it would not fit. On the 305 there are two holes for the starter to be mounted to the block but on the 350 there’s a stud in one of the holes. The starter will not fit anyway you put it. I was reading more about it and I saw that I’m not supposed to have a stud there. It’s only supposed to be two bolts that go in. The stud looks like it was welded back onto the block. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can mount the starter? I was thinking about cutting that stud off and mounting the starter where it needs to be and just give it a few tack welds to hold it in. If anyone can help with better ideas please help.
