I got into installing the starter today. I will be using Mopar part # P5249644AB , I found that this is the only starter that will work for the Gen 3 hemi with TTI headers and the Alterkation front end. First thing I had to do is grind off 2 of the rear bolt bosses on the oil pan rail to gain clearance, (since I don't need these any way)then the starter bolts on easy.As you can see in the first picture the starter won't bolt on with the bosses on the oil pan rail in the way.

After measuring my Driveline angle at 1 degree down, I modified the transmission crossmember. The transmission has a 4 degree slant on the mounting pad so I made a Aluminum block to fit between the mount and the transmission pad with the 4 degree angle milled in. The modified transmission mount was reinforced with 1/8 plate an added to the width for more mounting area.(As you can see in the picture the 4 degree difference the T56 has with the crossmember.)
