Need Starter Info

Nightfly · 08-11-2019, 03:47 PM

I have a 3rd Gen Firebird Super Stocker and am having problems and need some of the info from you guys on this forum. I have a Moroso 21235 oil pan on a small block chevy and a clutch with a 153 tooth flywheel. I need to find a starter to fit this. The oil pan kick out is preventing me from using my regular Hamburger mini starter. The clutch is a billet Youngblood 7" dual disc. Anybody know if a starter is available for something like this. Thanks

Check out the RobbMC performance starter.

You probably need a starter that you can rotate the solenoid on. The starter you have now may work if you can do this.

What part of the starter interferes with the pan ? On my stuff with a Hamburger starter and a 153 tooth flexplate I trimmed the entire mounting block and removed the bolt hole meant for the big flexplate , that part of the mounting block hit the pan rail .

SS3011 what pan do you use. My armature hits the pan. Even if I machined some of the mounting block it still wouldn't work. I might have to find another oil pan to get this to work.

That's a bummer , sounds like your pan was designed for a 168 tooth flywheel .
