I'm doing a V6 Buick conversion with adapters, etc. from Kennedy Engineered Products. I also bought an IMI High Torque starter from them. The only thing is, it won't clear the trunk floor so I can put it in. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) The starter is IMI's #101, which is what Kennedy sent me knowing, I believe, that it was going into a 914. Anyone else run into this problem? Or, what starter did you end up using for your V6 or V8 conversion.

This is about the worse configuration you can have but still gives about 1/4" clearance with the v8. The transaxle is dropped 3/4" and moved back 1-1/2" for the 8. Maybe the 3/4" drop is helping here........but then again, I'm not familar with what is done as far as moving the transaxle in a v6.
