starter options I have a 2004 GTO LS1 in a 69 chevelle. I have long tube headers which fit great with one exception. the small lug on the starter solenoid is clocked at the worst possible location so that it is very close to the headers. Any options with lug at a different location on the solenoid??

That's the only starter I've seen with a tab sticking off of it like that. Is it mounted to the solenoid that way or is it just an extension of the smaller stud on the solenoid? See if its an extension and remove it.
If not, pretty much any car/truck LS starter will work.

I'm drawing on some cloudy memory but I believe if the GTO bellhousing is being used, that precludes the use of many/most non-GTO starters - at least without doing some grinding on the bellhousing.

The old Ford solenoid trick that eliminates that small trigger wire may help,also ensures that starter solenoid is getting full voltage on a hot crank.Here is just one of many diagrams so you get the idea.
