Doug's headers and mini-starters

Does anyone know of a different starter configuration to avoid this?

I'd heard of people having problems with the top terminals on big blocks (this one has the + terminal cut short because of that), but I was not expecting this.

That starter can go back on a big block, I'd rather buy a new starter than knock a dent in my new headers. Within reason, of course - I'm not sure they're this precious => RobbMcPerformance - Mopar Starter, and there are no photos to convince me one of those would help with this anyway.
