Powermaster XS Torque Starters 9509
This worked perfectly on my Wegner LS3 with ultimate headers/RS chassis.

Tried a 9409 PowerMaster (didn’t work, hit header). I have the 9509 on my other Chevelle with Holley long tube headers and it works fine in that setup. I’m going to use a stock (AC Delco) starter (it’ll fit, pretty small).
Oh, that’s my engine and headers btw, lol

Interesting, did you adjust it? (the body can rotate).

The tube hit on the round body of the starter, not the solenoid. Clocking wasn't going to help. These are larger tube headers than their normal ones, and we asked them after the starter didn't fit; told us they designed it with a stock GM starter which is smaller.

Sounds like a problem easily solved with a BFH.
I should probably check to make sure my powermaster starter fits with my headers. Worst case I'll sell the powermaster and pick up an AC Delco starter if that's what they built them around.

Did you get the 2" tubes? The stock GM starter clears easily.

No, 1-7/8". I didn't even know they offered 2" tubes for their stock chassis A body LS swap application, and they didn't mention it on the phone when I ordered.
Don't think I'll have any starter clearance issues with mine though, the tube routing for the stock chassis header on the passenger side is quite a bit different from the headers in your pics for the RS chassis application.
