Fitting a starter like this in place of a stock starter requires longer 
mounting studs in the bellhousing due to the thicker flange.   They offer the 
starter with an optional, free wiring kit, which you should ask for as well.

     I lived with hot re-start issues for many, many years.  When I blew
     my clutch I took the car to Cory Gehling to have the clutch
     replaced.  He said the starter got trashed so he put in a high
     torque starter.  What difference.  The motor spins like crazy hot or
     cold.  My hot start issues where a thing of the past after putting
     in the new starter.  I wish I had done it years before.
