Umm yea I got a set of hooker headers for my small block 400 and wouldnt you know the clearance for the starter sucks, which I knew was going to happen anywho to make a long story short I ordered a mini starter from summit (the 400 has a off set bolt pattern so of course it was like 40 bucks more for the offset starter...dont know why but thats not the problem) anywho I ordered the summit brand starter (part # SUM-820323-OS ) tried to install the damn thing at every possible clock the starter would let me and it doesnt fit! its too big, eather that or im stupid which is a possibility but i spent over 4 hours trying to fit the thing so im almost positive its not me. So any insight would be great because Im really close to pushing the car over a cliff or something I would drive it off but I cant get the starter in..... yea anywho any help please?

 

Someone has to know please Im dying over here my car is sitting in the drive way and it needs to be moved soon. I have no idea what to do, this is the second starter I attempted to put in and I dont know which one I should put in. I figgured mini starters where about the same size but i guess not.
