Is this one of those "mini" starters?
« on: December 06, 2015 - 08:08:06 AM »
Is this one of those mini starters everyone rants and raves about on the boards? Not sure the brand, but hoping I can get something smaller than this one to fit in without removing anything. 

The only way I can get the darn thing out currently is to either remove the whole transmission (which I was doing anyways) or remove the headers which might be just as big of a pain since the studs and nuts are rusty.  I have hooker super comp headers and there's no way I can see to get one in and out between them and the steering shaft.

Yep looks like the typical later model Mopar starter to me.

YES, and if you snap off the plastic cover on the terminals, you can remove the extender for more wire-to-engine clearance.

Mine fits like that on the 440, I guess I just kinda smashed it in there, looking now the black is actually hitting the block, I'll try moving it some
