Starters?

[ellerstang]

Any one know if there is a mini starter for the 05-09. I installed a 06 4.6 in my 95 with kooks long tube for the 96 model but the starter is to long. I need a shorter one. I tried a starter from a 96-04 it fits but the design on the tooth is too different. Any one have an idea I can try it I might have to by another flywheel for the 96 style.

This isn't tech. Please review the posting rules.

My bad I was just wondering if any one has used a different starter on the s197 model. Or if there even is a mini starter.

Not sure if these would work...

i have a 96-04 spec flywheel and my 05-up 3v starter works fine. dunno why the teeth would be different for the other way around

On the 96-04 starter the teeth are smaller and closer together then the 05 style. Thanks autoxracer. I'm going to try that one out. Haven't seen anything else beside the pa one. But they don't state weather it is smaller or not.

Well just got off the phone with the msd it will not work either. They did tell me to try power master. Gotta see what they have.

CJ pony parts has a starter for the 05-10 models. It's a power master part number 9532. Just in case any body else ever needs one. It also is able to rotate to different positions to clear most aftermarket oil pans also.

I have a pa starter on the way and I have a stock 05 on the bench. I will snap a pic when it gets here for you

 

[ellerstang]

Thanks that would help to. The one from power master is 300. If it is shorter I can probably save some coin.

 

[sportinawoody]

didnt get a picture but i laid my bad stock one beside the pa before i installed it yesterday,,, they are the same frame, same length.

Ten 4 thanks buddy. Glad to know in hoping the one I ordered is smaller when it comes in ill snap some shots of both. The stock and the power master. It's on back order for another ten days before it even ships.

Nice find. If the one I ordered doesn't work ill look into it.

 

[ellerstang]

Well the one I ordered won't work but I figure I can still post pics for any one else looking for a smaller one.




Back to the drawing board.

Don't leave us hanging, why did the Powermaster not work for you?

 

[ellerstang]

Well it's been a while but I'm not giving up yet on the power master I decided to try it again but with a different approach. The problem I'm having is that one of the tubular members on the kooks long tube runs down right behind the motor mount, but I noticed that I had a huge gap between my block and the tube and from the tube to strut tower. So I heated up the tube and pulled it towards my a-arm and it gave me more clearance. Now I can get the starter in but with the mounting points on the starter that rotates it doesn't have a way for me to angle it the way I need to.
So I'm stuck with either returning it, trying a different one or place the starter in place, mark it then drill and tap the holes my self. ( I'm no expert in this, so I'm. It sure yet because once I modify it i can't return it.) but I'll keep y'all up to date. The headers for the 05 and up body style don't separate so I don't think any one with a s197 should have any of the problems I'm running into. I'll post pics up when it's daylight, been working on it during night due to it being dark by the time I get home.
