Nope, the VK starters are still too big to get out without dropping the exhaust off the manifold.
There is a bosch reduction gear starter though, that you can replace your current one with, and it is much smaller - and more importantly, it clears the e |

I was pretty sure the VH/VK starters were smaller.
But I also think the VK injected ones are smaller, that was what was on the EFI I wrecked for my conversion. They need to be smaller to do the extractors which are standard on the injected motor.

I believe that the starter motor you are looking for does exist. They are found on four cylinder Commodores if you can still find a Commodore 4 that is.
I ran one on my old Commodore with 179 engine but it didn't last long trying to crank the 6. |
