ignoring 4wd axle.
that top rear right side, curve is where the starter plate goes. and you can see it , will not go to the rear. ever. ,, and shows the mess of cables and hoses in the way, too. lots in the way. and that intake brace #28
I did pull the manifold brace (part #28) as well as the EGR which opened up some space and makes a topside installation seem possible. It appears I still need to pull the battery and the bracket holding the hoses going to the charcoal canister to have enough room to slide in the new starter. Geesh, are all starters this complicated to install? I think I'll make it with just a few more parts removed. Thanks a lot for your advice so far. I think I'm finally on the right track.
