Well I have "heard" ppl say that they have put the LT's on w/ the OEM starter..even tho I dont see how..
Change the starter.. .. I have a Tommy Johnson Mini starter..
as far as the oil filter goes.. I did have to modify the oil cooler to fit as one of the primary tubes runs right where the lines should be...its a "tight" fit..but works like a champ...
Oil Cooler Pic #1 Oil Cooler Pic #2
Motor Pic #1
Motor Pic #2
There are some slots inside the oil cooler that I enlongated so I could rotate the housing counter clockwise as much as possile... (when the motor is upside down)
Also had to move (slightly push on) the brake lines to clear as well.. but not much..
HTH,
Rick
