Default high torgue starter wireing 1987

Can I get advise on installing a hi torque starter I got fron corvette central for my 87 the Solenoid is off center and my batt cable doesnt reach the big terminal. Can i switch big terminals on the solenoid? move the wire from the casing that is on another big terminal. if I can the batt cable will reach. Heeelp Thanks

Some starters can be clocked. That is rotated to fit better like mentioned above. Another possibility would be to follow the bat cable and organize it to be longer. I just put a power master 9100 on mine, very pleased with it.

I just put one on my 87 from Summit. Which one did you get? Clock it the the next bolt where solenoid is close to engine block.
