Mini Starter options?

we just used a 1980's dodge diplomat mini starter on my 1974 swinger with headmen short tubes and a 360, the only problem with the starter we ran into, was some of the nose housing had to be grind down, but with being able to walk into the local parts store and pick one up it was great. Also with the little bit of grinding needed its barly noticble so if you had to return it for a warenty the yahoos at the local parts store would never know.
