Lee,
Do you have a part number for starter in the high 7's?

I don't since I got it at a swap a few years back. My friend just bought one that I believe is one of the 7's and I'll check with him since he weighed it on the scale. He said that Mancini had run out of them shortly after he ordered his. It's on his current street Hemi semi lightweight 68'project.

I just bought two extra new ltwt starters from Special K to have in stock and I will weigh them to see the differences since one is the long snout and the other (shorter) is hopefully one of the 7's, but at most an 8.

Mancini's lists a starter with part number P5007860 for big blocks at 7 lbs. But that could be 7 lbs 2 oz or 7 lbs 14 oz?

yeah, that would be the ball park.
I believe they have arrived at that number with smaller parts externally or just a smaller winding internally.

While I find the 17466 readily available at a very reasonable cost all the ads that include the weight have it listed as 9 LBS?
Has someone actually weighed one of these?
Thanks for all the replies and info guys!

Yes! Everyone is welcome and we jump all over the place!
Back to my current quest starters.
I am beginning to think finding a real 7 lb Mopar starter is like looking for a unicorn!
I have found that the weights advertised by manufacturers and what things really weigh can differ. I have bought some new parts over the years that were supposed to be lighter than the old and they were NOT!
So I would like to start listing starter part numbers and real weights.
I have a P53005984 and it weighs 8 lbs 4 oz.
I also have a R3005984 which is a reman of the other 8 lbs 4oz.
I contacted a guy that had an unboxed P5007860 and asked him to weigh it on an accurate scale. It came in at 8 lbs 7 oz.
This is the same one Mancini says is 7 lbs on their site??
If any one else has one loose with a different part number I ask you to put it on a digital scale and post the results.
Thanks Much!

I'll put the two that I have as spares on the scales and see what comes up. I'll need a day or two since I'm in the middle of stuff and can't get to my scales and starters just yet. Keep tuned.

Probably covered before, but I just had these strut rods made at work along with the washers. Total weight savings of almost 3 lbs. I have $14 into everything. Now they go off to get powder coated for the stealth look.

Very, very nice work.
I don't want to sound offish, are those threads the same as factory? I though they might be fine thread. I forgot for some reason.
What type aluminum used?

FWIW, my "A" body strut rods are fine thread. My "B" body strut rods are coarse thread. Apparently it depends on the application? work

On another note, you interested in doubling your money Jerico? I'd love to have a set of those. grin

Here's the heavier of the culprits Part # 4379144 with heat shields and all.
Even at this weight, this pup is lighter than the dreaded but reliable stock 16 Lb hunk.

Here's its lighter cousin coming in a slightly lighter fighting weight of 8 Lbs or so. The difference in weight is not so much the overall size, but the lack of meaty bosses and gussets, especially on the snout.
