Starter Fitment Issues - SBC Superstock Kickout Pan
 

I'm looking for a starter to fit a SBC with a kickout oil pan. I tried a Powermaster 9540 I had laying around and the body of the starter binds up against the pan no matter how you clock it. Any suggestions on what starter I should try? It seems like I need a starter who's body is staggered away from the oil pan.

the market holds a number of different configurations.

In the last few years I have enjoyed working with Mark Payne at House of Payne Performance. He has good service, good products, good pricing. A good guy.

We use a Tilton on our SS with the 168 tooth flywheel. No fit issues. The 153 tooth flywheel I could see a fit issue.

There's Tilton Super Starters, The Original. . . and still the best. The Super Starter is the original high performance gear reduction mini starter. It has become the benchmark for starters used in high performance and racing applications and then there's every other manufacturer trying to be #2. You only have to buy the best once!

I would contact the manufacturer of the oil pan. I'm sure they would know what starters are compatible with their pans.

Yes, I do. You should try it some time rather than just trying to be a smart a**.

The Powermaster 9400 clears fine and pictures the Tilton looks like it would too. Thanks for the help.

Laugh all you want but it works. I was going to buy a new starter and talked to mark payne, House of Payne electric< this is what he suggested. I have a spare one that came from AutoZone on a junk yard motor. It's been on big blocks and big small blocks at the track when their high dollar starter let them down. Fits my tow vehicle also and it's been on that too.

the OP thanks you for answering his question.:rolleyes:

Re: Starter Fitment Issues - SBC Superstock Kickout Pan
 

I used one like that for a while,(until it let me down) but beware many of the internal parts are plastic I was told by a rebuilder.

Re: Starter Fitment Issues - SBC Superstock Kickout Pan
 

The starter that Eman referred to can be had with good parts in it. I have used one for years in 11 to 1 small block.

Re: Starter Fitment Issues - SBC Superstock Kickout Pan
 

I had one Tilton starter. It was short lived but that was before I went 16v. I usually get about 5-6 seasons from a starter.

Nice car, works well, Never Ever Ever squared off with anyone in Competition of a Heads Up No Breakout Performance Class.

Add the abrasive arrogant attitude and you wonder why people have the same reaction to your responses.

Come to Indy with your CAR IN A LEGAL GT class for heads up Competition. See what you really know.
