Tracy, what is the length of your spacers between the
back of the engine and the 1/2 re-drive plate?
This dimension is going to determine if a stock bell housing
can be adapted to your redrive without redoing the input shaft.

Some are wishing to use the 93 and later automatic transmission bell
housing. It has a very unique starter. Same as the picture of
Bulents 13B Cosmo engine. It also looks way too long.
I would imagine these bell housings and starters are rather
rare and expensive because not that many 93 and later cars were
sold with auto transmissions. Heck not many 93 and later RX7's were
sold anyway.

The 93 and later manual transmission starters look just like the
earlier starters and should fit your redrive plate. Mine too for that
matter.

The spacers are 3.050" long, quite a bit shorter than the bellhousing.
