I know this has probably been hashed out before but....what starter are you guys using with the Indy Max block. I'm having problems getting one to fit because of the extra ribs that this block has versus the factory block. I have a RobbMC starter and it won't fit. It has to be a powerful starter too because this is a high compression big inch race only motor. Header clearance is not an issue b/c its on a tube chassis car. What has everyone else had good luck with???

Not sure on the Indy block, but I have the MP mini starter on my KB block w/ no clearance issues. My 572" is only 11:1 but I had it on a 14.5:1 446" and it spun it over no problem also. CHIP

I just haven't had very good luck with Mopar minis in the past but I guess thats what I'll go with because nothing else seems to fit the aftermarket blocks. Thanks for the info guys!

Big camshafts with a lot of overlap don't usually make very much cranking compression, most stock starters work fine on my high compression motors (14.7 to 1 on the last one)with tight LSA(106)
