Got a 1.4 KW from Tommy Johnson's. Will this starter live on the street? I had a friend tell me today that it won't hold up to street use. This car isn't a daily driver.

 

It'll hold up fine,your friend is a dumbass.These things are designed to spin big cube engines with a ton of compression,they oughta be just fine for starting your avg.,streetable engine.

 

It's basicly a gear reduction Nipendenzo with an adaptor made to fit a SBC. I dont know about you but I see more domestic starter failures then ND failures.

 

I was going to say that, werent they just a regular joe blow starter motor with a gear reduction.

I wouldnt see any reason why it wouldnt work, i would think it would even last longer as it takes alot of strain off the starter motor.

 

I need a mini starter to clear my huge header tubes. I currently use one of these.

I originally was using one similar to this. It was a cheap offshore brand. It did the job for a while but finally was having problems cranking the engine over.

Check out Jegs, they have a mini 4.41 reduction starter on sale now for 129.99. Info says it had 4 adjustable postions and shims included.

 

gm puts, or put, mini or gear reduction starters on 4th gens. it'll work on the street, at least as well as the oem piece does.

 

yeah, I'm using one from a 1995 LT1, works great with more clearance and less weight to lift up when installing it..
