The exact offset difference is not a lot but at times will create two possible problems one with the starter bendix and two some interference with the oil pump idler gear drive cover to the rear of certain flywheels.

That's correct Ronnie! What's the best way to check this before the motor is installed??!! I was planning on using a Powermaster starter and was wondering how to get the correct backspacing. I see they make one for the French block which I was told is the one to use.
Anybody have this set-up?
Thank you!
