168 tooth flywheel and LT1 starter?

 

No

 

Summit says that a staggered or inline bolted starter will work with either flywheel.

 

OK, go for it. It's your money.

Be sure and let us know how it works out.

 

Let me explain why i want to upgrade to a higher torque starter.

I have 13 volts and 820 CCA at the battery. I turn the key and the starter turns INCREDIBLY slow. BUT, when i had the starter tested, it showed good.
Also, i purchased a new starter from Autozone, i bolted it up, same result. I have on occasion been able to get the engine to run, only when it spins the engine fast enough to start. I bypassed the ignition switch, and tried running a wire from the switch spot on the starter directly to the battery, same result, which means there is not a bleed in my electrical system. These starters simply do not have the "Cajones" (am i allowed to say that?) to turn the motor over, therefore my conclusion was i needed more cranking torque to start my engine. My cam is installed straight up, and my valves are lashed correctly. The engine is in time, what causes it to be such a pain to turn over?

Your opinion?

P.S. I did some digging. The reason the Summit startyers bolt up and an LT1 won't is because aftermarket starters have multiple mounting locations. I was wrong.
