Yes. If it is a small case with 157 teeth flexplate, the 289 starter won't
fit unless you roll the oil pan lip or switch to a mini-starter. You'll
also need the corresponding block plate (the 351C block plate will have
the starter hole position for the 164 teeth flexplate). Note 289's had
both 157 and 164 teeth flexplates, depending upon what chassis the engine
was originally installed in.
If the engine is a later 302, the flexplate may have a different balance
factor (depends upon the year).
