Reply to "Starter"

I'm quite sure that it is a mistake in the listings not to show the 351c starter as the same as the other Ford small block starters?


The only difference would be an automatic transmission vs. a manual transmission.

The mini starters are essentially all Nissan truck starters with various noses and gears to match the applications.

Yes you can save a few pounds by using them but who cares on a street car?



I'm using an Accell "Mega Tork". It is the same size and weight of the original Ford starters.

Other than the weight differences I don't see a large benefit to either style. You certainly do not need them for header clearance.



What some of you may be seeing is an inability of a rebuilt starter to handle the voltage through the original cut down armatures?

That's pretty common. Even a new Ford starter is a high torque starter.



You shouldn't even notice a torque drop from a starter unless you are running a lot of static compression, i.e., a 12:1 cr engine.

That's also a situation where you could overload the original equipment Pantera starter switch. You could even melt the contacts in the thing.
