Going to get a mini starter ordered for my car since I am doing hooker 2210's. Is there a prefered mini starter for our cars. It is going to be a daily driver so dependability is important. Kinda wish gm had a replacement starter that was as small as a mini and would work. Car is stock for now.

 

I use a 96ish vette mini starter. (been on the car a looong time with my hooker headers)
Pricey new but Ebay has them used and rebuild parts are cheap.

 

Got a part number? OR better yet a link to a web site?

 

corvette lt1 starter

 

Msd infi-clock mini starter.

Very light and small.

It works great with lots of clearance with my Ed quay headers

 

Fbody LT1 starter worked great for my 2210's

 

Same here !

But I am going to replace it after 14 years because it just does not have enough torque to turn the 13:1 engine easily.

If you have higher than stock SCR you will need/want a starter with more torque.

check out this application chart: http://www.powermastermotorsports.com/StarterApp.pdf

# 9004 is a mini-starter but with more umpfff than stock and is universal Chevy fit (153 * 168 tooth flywheels)

same with #9400 but with ALOT more umpfff! which is what I am leaning towards..

 

11:1 comp and it never skipped a beat

 

Same here....got mine from local auto parts. Been running it for years with no problems.

 

Google or E-bay 96 corvette starter. You may have to move the batt cables for a little extra length.
I think it was used from 90-96??

 

Looking at starters online it appears the vette is smaller. Would I need different length bolts for the vette or lt1 f body starter? Leaning towards the vette starter.

 

The vette starter is much much smaller. That's why I use those. They are very reliable also, unlike some of the aftermarket stuff (especially the china junk with plastic planetaries)

 

After digging around I found out that the stock bolts will work.

 

Is vette lt1 starter smaller than fbody lt1? Th fbody one is small as it is lol

 

Yes:

it's not an original lt1 starter but it's mostly the same:

 

Wow. Lt1 fbody is like half the size of L98 factory one, then that vette one would clear up even more room.

I got a summit mini starter on my 2 pc rear main block. Nice starter as well

 

Some of the summit ones are the chinesium with the plastic planetaries

 

Possibly. Dont know on mine but over 4 yrs so far no issues with hot turbo downpipe right next to it

 

I have an old Powermaster starter which doesn't look anything like they have advertised in Summit now. It had good torque but it got stuck on and it burnt up the motor windings before I could disconnect the battery. I had it rebuilt but haven't installed it since then.

It looks a lot like this one http://www.summitracing.com/parts/su...make/chevrolet

I can't remember if this is the Denso or Nippon style motor.

 

Anyone know if the LT1 starters are transmission specific, like the third gen, or does it fit both manual and auto trans?. I accidentally bought an auto starter for my T-5, and there was no way it was fitting.

 

Here's the summit mini starter on my Ed Quay headers


Here's the infi-clock starter(way smaller and lighter )
