Mini Starter - Which to buy for my A Body

i remember the first time i saw a slant, i thought "what the hell is wrong with this? you can see the starter just by opening the hood?"

i think i got one that is supposed to go on a dakota, put the rebuilt engine in and couldn't get the old starter in between the headers and block and decided i wanted a smaller starter, and a new starter for reliability purposes since it's an automatic.
