Small block chevy starter

Recommended Posts

What would be the hotness starter to go with, if i had a 10:1-12:1 comp small block? Im not excatllly sure what compression the engine is and the owner has told me she has put two starters in the car already. Im looking at this one from GM performance -> http://www.gmpartsdirect.com/results.cfm?perfPackages=1&pkgid=110 at the bottom of the page. Does anyone has one of these on there ride?

I haven't used the high torque ones yet. It would be best if you had the bigger 168 tooth flywheel as far as starting goes. Corvette starters are good for us offroad guys since their sealed.

My 383 sbc is 11.1:1 and I run a remanufactured starter from Autozone. The part number is 3510. I have had it on there since I built the engine(30,000 miles) and a few thousand on the 350 that preceeded it. If you can't start it with the standard factory high torque, then you have a problem. The only time you should need a "hi-output mini starter" is if you have header clearance problems or on a 13:1 or up engine. The 3510 is the same motor(possibly different nose piece) that GM put on every v-8 other than the diesel. Make sure that the wire from the case to the solenoid stud comes out at the very end farthest from the alum nose piece, that indicates it is a high torque.

Well i think the starters that have been on this car have been rebuilt, so i think im gonna try a new mini starter either gm or jegs. This engine is suppost to be a wiston cup motor so I would think it would have a decent compression ratio. Either way, thanks for the feedback boys.

Sorry to disappoint, but what you have there is a run of the mill 23 degree iron head small block chevy. Nothing wrong with that and it might make decent horsepower and torque. But it is not what is being run in Winston/Nextel Cup.

 

 

<<<---Something similar to this is what is found under the hoods of today's Cup cars.

this was built for a high dollar roundy pounder....

 

works ok in a drag application...with a much larger carb....

 

and these are aluminum 23degree heads... not 18 like a cup motor, but it still cranks out 650 at the flywheel..with more cr(13.75 to 1)
