electric starter for reverse has been done. I think there's a thread or two about it on the various forums if not here. best shot at doing it without too much bulk is to go with an automotive high-torque mini starter and put a bigger gear on the jackshaft for it to engage into. most of those have a mounting boss around hte nose gear that rotates 90 degrees or more with a variety of holes to index the mounts with. the nose area is also typically full open and not half enclose by the case /shaft support like a stock-style car starter. I crank my 464 with one that "lives" about 1/2 inch from a nest of 2-inch primary head pipes and no heat shielding--been in there for years without any problems.
