I don''t want to go on record saying that although from what I've read, they are the same. Where you run into trouble is when you're using the bell housing mounted starters. The mini-torque starters mostly all bolt up using the two straight across block holes. I would certainly try one as you can always return it if it doesn't fit.
The one posted by Andy 4639 looks to be a staggered mount and should also work.
If your bell housing blocks the starter nose cone from engaging the flywheel then of course you can't use any block mounted starter, but it would be easy to judge that just by looking. I've got a bell housing for my four speed corvette and I'll check it to see if it would allow a block mounted starter. I think the starter for the corvette is a block mount so I guess it wouldn't.
Tell hem what you have and ask them for the starter that will fit.
