You may have to adjust the depth of the starter to flywheel???

IMO unless the clutch blows up the block plate serves little purpose. It may or may not save the back of the block from flying debris. As long as the input shaft does not bottom out in the pilot bearing you will be ok.
Install the bellhousing and measure the depth from the transmission mounting face to the bottom of the input shaft hole in the pilot bearing. Compare that dimension to that of the mounting face of the transmission to the length of the input shaft. The difference (in thousandths of an inch) is how much you have to play with.
