Thank you for all the input fellas.

I went with a mini starter from a 1991 Dodge Dakota-bought from Autozone for $65-after I returned the core. I had to grind/file down the body of the mini starter a little to get the bolts to line up. It works well and it's much lighter and easier to put in the car. I doubt I'll ever go back to the original type starter.

Thanks a bunch for the tip Ralph!

Nice, bet it weighs almost half of what the original does. Does it start any better?

I am surprised you had to grind the mini starter? I have never had any issues with all the ones I've installed. I buy it, n install it. Glad it worked for you.

Hello, yes, it starts slightly quicker and sounds better when turning over...hard to explain...a little more crisp maybe..

thansk, juan.

hello Ted, yes, it's a 69 date coded 440 block punched 30 over. i didn't have to shave a lot off...just a little to round it out as it had an edge that was hitting the round cut out in the block..no biggie..it was fun to do.

although, using a thread chaser to clean up the threads for the starter bolt holes was not fun at all...what a pain.

thanks, juan.

Ralph,

Just want to check as I like your Dakota starter idea. Will it be fine for 11.25:1 compression ratio?
