I'm looking for a shorter starter body to allow for header clearance. I'm currently using a GTO starter but I need to run 2 primaries between the rear of the starter and the motor mounts as seen here. Currently there isn't quite enough room to fit both pipes.

With a little modification to the motor mount heat shield and a shorter starter I should have enough space.
So far the only starter I have any solid info on is the PowerMaster 9509. While it's probably short enough to do what I need, I wouldn't mind having a little more wiggle room.

So, has anyone used another mini starter that's shorter than this one?
