Yeah I got my starter to fit. I used the late model mini starter and chamfer the edge of the pilot hole on bell, then had to grind on the side of the starter that is close to the block for clearence (per one of the tech articles on the Moparts Tech Page, Thanks Moparts ). If your using the original large starter just enlarge the pilot hole in the bell large enough so your starter slides in easily all the way before you ever put it in the truck.
