Do I need a high torque starter??
I just put a new motor in my car. When I turn it over, the flywheel will move then stop and it just clicks. At first the starter wasnt lined up rigt and it clicked but now it will turn the crank then stop as if my battery is dead. I charged the battery and even tried a jump start. Do I need a high torque starter? If so is the summit one ok any other suggestions around $200 price. I am using my stock 350 starter with a 383 stroker and 11.5:1 compression. See sig. thanks much.

ya i would think so. i had the same problem, except i was using a 305 starter. But i suspect that even a 350 starter (if they are different) still cant cope with the near 200LBS per cylinder of cylinder pressure that is created by a hot 383. If your also having problems starting at cold temps, then something else is wrong.
