Any reason that I might need a mini-starter?
 

I haven't seen any mention of people using other than stock starters in the build threads I've seen, but my motor came without a starter so I thought I should figure out if I'll need a mini-starter now, or a stocker. Obviously the price is about $140 different so I'll go with stock if I can.

This is going in a dropped '68, most likely with manifolds but maybe headers in the future and a shallower-than-truck oil pan.

Stock starter is more than adequate for most builds. Save the money and just get a stocker.

That's what I like to hear! Thanks sir.

The stock starter isn't actually overly huge or heavy. The mini starters are cool, but I haven't had anyone tell me they "need" one, and we've had a couple of higher compression motors.

Like the others have said, the stocker seems to be more than fine.
