With the heat shield history, the starter (either the IIa or III-style) can be withdrawn up and out. Here's how (in less than 5 min.): 1) unbolt cable and the two bolts. 2) Withdraw unit, turn slightly and drop front end to rest between down pipe and frame rail. The Dyer gear shaft will just clear the upper inner of the bell housing hole. 3) Grab the shaft end and withdraw (up) between the exhaust manifold and bulkhead. 4) Go pop a cold one. Takes longer to explain it than it does to do it.
