Ron,

Perhaps marrying some old school methods to what's available may possibly lead to a solution. Those offset gear reduction starters rarely lend themselves to tight space applications. So here's my thought: Look at the Summit G1660A starter. The mounting block is clockable, and the solenoid is tight against the body on the motor so it's quite compact. Perhaps a little re-configuring and drilling the two mounting holes to match your 930 mounting requirement, it might just fit up. The first thing to confirm however, would be the pinion tooth count to see if they match; the pitch I believe is the same at 12TPI. There might be a need to do some further machining of the mounting block, but it should be pretty simple (or fabricate a new one from scratch to fit your needs). Now for the "old school" stuff. If you rotate the brush plate by 90 degrees, the starter shound turn in the reverse direction (we used to do that with old Ford starters).

I don't have any photo's, but I fabricated a new mounting block for that particular Summit starter also for a space limiting reason, though be it for a LS1 motor.

Good luck,

Andy
