Re: very frustrated

There are two flexplates that typically bolt up to SBC. There's not a huge amount of difference between them size-wise, so you may have the larger one and a starter designed for the smaller one. Or the bracket is designed for the smaller one. Either way, the problem is the same. I'm pretty sure the starter would use a slightly smaller gear to engage the larger flexplate. If you still have the packaging for the flexplate (assuming you bought a new one), check to see how many teeth it has (153 or 168). Then make sure you have the right starter for for that flexplate.
