I just went out there to look at it again and I don't see what your talking about. The back of my starter is about 1-1.5 inches from touching the motor mount. Below it about 1 inch is the subframe. I can't imagine that will give me enough wiggle room to get the starter clear of the bell housing.

Does the 617 have a different starter or starter location?
