In the tech session at Salado this year one of the presenters talked about flywheel ring gears. He said that a ring gear can be taken off of the flywheel and reversed so that the good portion of the teeth are facing the starter.
So the ring gears aren't beveled? In my previous experience with newer ('50s and later) Chevy V8s, there is actually a bevel on the ring gear, so that it can only be installed one direction. If that's not the case with this ring gear, that will be an easy fix.
Also, I will replace the starter drive when I flip or change the ring gear. It's too easy to find and inexpensive to risk damaging the good side of the ring gear for! A lot easier to pull the starter than to pull the ring gear!
