According to the info I have found, the SBC starter would interchange with the "W" engines. Since I happen to have a few lying around, I thought I would use one on my 409. Of course it doesn't line up with the two bolt holes on the block. I bolted it up with one bolt to check the engagement with the flywheel. It seems to work fine.
Question: Have any of you re-drilled the starter mounting to fit the 409 engine?
Thanks
