Starter Relocation
Is it possible to relocate the starter for a 93 Chevy C2500 6.5TD. I removed my windshield wiper reservoir and have that empty space there and thought I might be able to mount my start there and bolt it down on the driver side wheel hub. Thoughts?

Leroy has a broken block starter plate that supposedly works. Check it out.I’ve always toyed with the idea of finding a way to mount a starter to an engine with a broken block like we sometimes commonly see on the 6.2 or 6.5.Many blocks could be salvaged if we could find a way to use for instance a different starter such as from a Deere 2020 or 6.9 diesel as an example with a two hole flange with a special made adapter plate of some sort.
I’m sure something could be fabricated in the event a broken block couldn’t be repaired.

That reminds me of on a construction job the neighbor would call the cops over the smallest noise (all of which was legal). So one day we fired up an old gas compressor, reev'd it up with the drain valve cracked open and ran it from 7am (legal start) to 4 when we left. Cops said it was legal..... Next day he was very humble about or normal noise at 8 start.
