Bit of a strange question but if I were to mate up an early starter to a later (deeper) bell housing would this result in a grinding starter motor or is it that short that it simply wouldn't engage at all and just spin ?
 
They’re about 1/2” difference from memory, so guess it wouldn’t engage at all.

Also, as the shaft is a different length, a 002 starter wouldn’t actually reach the bush on an 091 bell housing.
