What kind of starter are you using??
Are any of you guys using mini starters with the use of headers on your motors and if you, what kind?
Thanks, Mike

Re: What kind of starter are you using??
Power Master #9600, I have one on both my 454 and 383. They're pricey but zero failure in 3 years.

Re: What kind of starter are you using??
I still have what appears to be the original starter and it's yet to fail me.

Re: What kind of starter are you using??
GM high torque mini starter on my 454. But I think with headers you may still need some wrap around that starter. I also have a remote solenoid installed, but that is a real touchy issue with some posting here.

Re: What kind of starter are you using??
Using a GM factory mini starter for later model vortec 350. I burned up two evilbay tilton style mini starters before I got the GM one and they were both a royal pain to shim correctly. The GM mini bolted right up and was perfect with no shims.....

Re: What kind of starter are you using??
Just one thing about the gm mini starter (and maybe other mini starters?)- there will be a slight gap visible at the top of the rectangular mounting base of the mini starter because that mounting base is different from the stock mounting base - at least that is the situation with my 83 C20 454 SM465.

Re: What kind of starter are you using??
PowerMaster 9612 (2x) one on 383 and another on 350. If the project budget is tight I go for Skipwhite 3HP-S215K mini-starter with a LIFETIME WARRANTY. All my truck engine builds use stagger mount starters.

Re: What kind of starter are you using??
Thanks for all of thre repsonses men but, I am working on a slim budget after having to buy a new daily driver. I am using 153 tooth flywheel on my toy with long tube headers. I guess I may need to get something with a dual bolt pattern just in case I change over to a 168 tooth flywheel and clutch package
