Starter. As mentioned I have changed a starter with the engine in the car. This time with the engine out I couldn't push the starter far enough towards the front of the engine to get the pinion out of the hole in the block that the starter sits in. That inch difference in length made the difference. If I can put the shorter starter in I would prefer that just in case it has to come out someday once the engine is back in the car.
