Both starter and both torque plates (flywheels) should be the same for both engines. You need to remove the A/T along with the torque convertor. Now do a test fit of the starter to the engine block and observe the clearance between the torque plate teeth, front and back, and the starter housing.

There is a reinforcement plate that bolts on to the center of the torque plate on the outside; it may instead be between the crankshaft flange and the torque plate; if so, it'll cause interfenence with the starter.
