Matt,

I was able to get my stock Buick starter out and back in from underneath 
without a problem.
(I had to remove it because I broke the solenoid when I installed the engine).

I took my starter to a rebuild guy just to make sure the starter was in top 
condition before
I installed the engine.  He replaced bearings, brushes, and installed a 
solenoid (the one I
broke).  The cost was less than $50.  When I put the starter on his counter he 
immediately
recognized the application and made a comment to me about not getting an 
exchange unit.
Apparently these are very rare, and there are few available, he suggested as 
long as I had a
"known quantity" I should have it rebuilt ... of course that's his business but 
I think he
was making a sincere comment.
