Best mini starter for RB big block 440 engine with TTI headers.

I just installed the terminal extensions I bought off ebay.
"The Best" ones according to seller...
I'm not sold on using this. After having to enlarge the hole on small arm of "the best" one,
this still seems too close to the block. They should be facing AWAY from the engine, not toward. Not much is accomplished by using these extensions, IMHO.
Jim, how close is that wire connector to the block?

hey roadrunnerh...

i haven't measured the space between the new starter wire terminal and the block but it isn't a lot - maybe 1"? my plan is to run the battery wire on the outer side of the starter (fender well side) and tape up the terminal well to minimize any possible short between the block and the terminal. i think this will be OK and solve the potential short concern unless i run through a pile of small metal parts where a piece could somehow lodge between the block and the starter terminals. LOL! i plan on avoiding piles of metal in the road as much as possible.
