Has anyone installed a hi-torque starter motor on their 1957 312 cu. in. engine? I noticed they are available. It appears the pinion enters from the front whereas the stock comes in from the rear. If the ring gear is cut from the back, it looks like the H-T pinion would strike the sharp side of the teeth vs. tapered side. While it may work, it seems like it would be damaged.
