I got a GM high torque mini starter for my 454 and it does mount odd. It does not fill the "hole" completely where the stock starter went, so I question the whole mounting concept. I remember reading different bolt holes being used for different engines. I'll have to bolt a piece of sheet metal in that opening someday. It does take a while to wind down if it does not start the first time, but it does help overcome the "heat soak" problem on the big block.
