The later Mag engine ones are smaller and are the one to get for max clearance. May have to take off the starter wire adapter bracket for use on a big block. 392 gen III hemi on E-85 727 trans Dana 60 10.02@134

I think it was $90 before i used their discount code and it came with a lifetime warranty. If you go to their website you can usually get a code for 15% to 20% off. I order online and go pick it up in the store. It's a much better deal that way. They usually have it waiting for me behind the counter within an hour of ordering. That's King Weenie to you!

Hate to tell you how many times I see a fellow Mopar guy stuck with a bad starter, only to ask him where he got it?...9 out of 10 times it's "from a junkyard"... starters are only good for a number of cycles, when it's new you can estimate how much life you can expect from it, used="Russian Roulette" what your going to pay for that tow home, would have bought you a new starter

That's why I like the one from autozone. Lifetime warranty and because all of their computer systems are linked nation wide, you don't have to go back to the store you bought it at or keep the receipt. You are saved in the system under your phone number. So I bought mine in FL, now Im in TX and can walk into any autozone and get it replaced free of charge, and no wait for shipping. Good quality (same part as Napa/advance/Orielly's) etc... 1971 Plymouth Satellite 408/904 8 3/4 3.23 SG

The one I got from O'riellys was off something like a 96 v6 dakota and spins that 383 of mine just like the mancini one and rebuilt was about 60 bucks with exchange. ( i gave them an old low torque factory as a trade in ) Works like a champ and spins my engine over way faster than the old styles do. 67 Dart GT Convertible 273 68 Barracuda 383 68 Roadrunner 383 4spd 1 '01 Ram 2500 4x4 diesel 2 '02 Rams 1500 4x4's 4.7s 3 '03 Rams 2 1500's 4x4 and 1 2500 hemi 4x4 Oh, and a 03 Grand Cherokee and an '00 durango

Spins that hemi over rather nicely.. I did shorten the posts though. They were particularly close to the block. There is plenty of threads on the posts, so no worries on the cable installation. It fits perfectly with plenty of clearance with the TTI headers I have. Last edited by hemi68charger; 07/14/14 12:43 PM.

Came from my Dads old junkyard off an '89 van with a 5.9 in it. Replaced the solenoid contacts (cost me about $6 at the time- real Denso contacts from the Toyota dealer I worked at) before I put it on. Been on the car about 6-7 yrs. now.

Had to cut and reweld the #1 tube for clearance, could probably get away with denting it running the 10.5" what years were the bigger ones? I think mines for a 92?
