Reply to "Starter Motor for 351 C with C6 transmission"

Twenty years ago when I put a McLeod mini-starter on the Pantera, it came with a 5/8" thick spacer plate. The instructions said 'std trans- use starter as is. Auto trans- use starter with adapter' and the spacer was needed to fit the std shift Pantera. One note- the thickness of the adapter plate between starter and block made the OEM starter mounting stud and bolt too short. I used two longer metric bolts to thread into the bellhousing; for the stud, I cut the head off one bolt and threaded it for a nut. With a stock Ford 'heavy-duty' starter, I had to loosen the right header to remove the 13-lb starter. For the 6-lb mini-starter, no such nonsense- it went in with plenty of clearance without moving the header.
