Default revo big block conversion

Anybody out there done this conversion ? Were trying to put a picco .26 in a revo but can't get it to clear the rear suspension. The starter is too thick.

we are useing the revo conversion kit from traxxas and have both pull start and e-z start. neither will clear the upper control arm. if we move the engine foward the bell clutch hits the servo box.

Thanks Guys, found the info we was needing at extremercmotorsports.com , you have to have a non-pull start engine and use a starter box.

Would a rotostart backplate fit? It is thinner than the pullstarter.

you can't use the EZ start or a pull start on the revo when you go to a big block??? If not I don't think Traxxas thought this one through enough for the one's that like more power.
