Edit- just remembered if you do go for the smaller starter you may need a new positive cable as the solenoid is a few inches further outboard, also the use a smaller cable attachment post. I was able to reuse my cable, no problems, just want to make you aware of that.

Don't over think this problem; the starter is over 30 years old and has performed thousands of time. Get a new, high torque starter. Swap it and enjoy a cold beer.
