What's The Deal With The Mopar Mini Starters?

Interesting. All of them I've found so far look just like the one I have and Matt had. No way will they engage anything where the old big starter was. They have two strikes. The nub on the end of the gear and the fact they don't travel all the way to the end of the snout. No way that's engaging.
That's the type I have, like the picture above. It would just BARELY get to the ring gear...definitely interesting.
