Gil 1 piece rear motor mount plate (pics)?
How/where in the hell is the GM block mount starter supposed to clear the mount which is sandwiched between the block and bell housing? Am I missing something totally obvious?
I have pics if need be, but anyone who runs this combination will know exactly what I'm talking about...
Thanks in advance!

PS remember there is 2 differant bellhousings, 1 for a rear mount and 1 with out using a rear race mount, if you use the wrong one the starter will not work!!! The differance is the clearnce for the race mount.

Since the flywheel is behind the motor mount, you do not require a hole for the starter if it is behind the mount also. Lots easier to get to the starter for maintenance also.

Thanks fellas.
Makes perfect sense Jim, however a rear mount starter won't clear my transom. I was originally hoping to use my crusader top starter mount bell housing, but can't for that reason.
