If they work with a small block, why wouldnt it work with a big block?
I want my fair share

From what I've found out, the automatics have the starter on the passenger side, and the manuals on the driver's side, so it's only the manual application that works. Some say it won't work with a 904 transmission, but Mancini says theirs will. I don't know if the one Mancini sells is the same starter, but it sure looks like it. Perhaps they modify it. I do know that the top mounting hole is threaded, and needs to be drilled, but that should be it. Now when using it with the GenIII Hemi, the block may need some grinding, which I can't figure out since that what this starter came on. Perhaps the older transmissions locate the starter a little higher than it would be if using the transmission it came with. I don't mind being the guinea pig other than I don't want to chew up my new flywheel. It just gives so much more room for headers.

Just looking at it the clearance alone, it will be a huge benefit from a heat soak cooking the starter perspective.

Don’t pay crazy Bouchillon price, you can pick up an aftermarket starter on Amazon for $80 shipped. is that without a core charge ? rock auto has a couple of different rebuilds for $68.00ish, but they have a $40 something core charge.

I have a 2007 Ram 1500. The starter is on the drivers side in my truck. It is a 5.7 with the 545RFE automatic. All Ram's in that era had the starter on the drivers side on a 5.7 Hemi, Automatic or manual trans.
Kayse can't keep up at all now. lol

Looks like it's a no go. I did a CAD (cardboard aided drafting) mockup, and the solenoid hits the block, even if the big lug is removed. From the side, I had to fold down the solenoid to fit. I taped the solenoid on top so you can see how high it sits, and it completely obstructs the lug sticking out the side of the block. It's hitting the side of the block, pushing the template away from the block, so the block itself interferes with this starter. Too good to be true, I guess.
