So the rough measurement (done by myself) shows the back end of the Idler arm being approximately 10.5 inches behind the center point of the Passenger Rear K-Member bolt.

I need any blocking item moved forward 3 inch for the OEM starter to fit. I do believe the Passenger Side lower control arm pivot would just miss the side of the OEM starter. And maybe even the end as well. I do have an option for a gear reduction starter saving me 1.5 inches at the very least. I may have found one that is 2 inches shorter than stock. And its sits high.

Ok, so on my setup, I’ve got about 11” from the center of the rear k-member bolt to to the back side of the rear support bar. The support bar I have is curved toward the rear about 2”, so if you’d do a straight across support (which I could actually do on my car as well) you’d have about 9” from the rear k-member bolt to the rear of the support bar.

Here’s a picture showing how my rear support curves.
