All,
I’ve seen a few recent questions about starters, best one, cheapest one, etc.....
I’ve been looking into a good mini starter for my 360 (420 cubes) with a 904 transmission.
I have seen some posting a warning to not use their starter when this combo is being used.
What is the reason?
Can anyone steer me in the right direction for the correct starter I need to get that will work, is a good quality, and fit well?
I have the flex plate combo conundrum figured out, now onto the next one!
Thanks again as always,

Wally.

Same starter as far as I know. I never heard of any difference. Where are you reading that? I have a 360 with a 904 and use the standard mini starter. The only issue I know of is the need to remove the plastic wiring adapter thing but that isn`t limited to that combo. I had one of these on one of my cars . https://www.dbelectrical.com/produc...&mrkgcl=1145&mrkgadid=3179571341

Only thing I've ever used was the Chrysler Denso mini starter that was also sold by MP. Worked, repairable, never saw a reason to change.


If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

I use junkyard mini starters off of late model v6 and SB all the time. Go on half off day. Pick up a few. Haven't had one fail yet and some are on high compression BB's

Use a denso mini and you are good to go.

I have the mp mini starter on my 360 with a 904 and it fits perfect. No issues at all.

Good luck
Tony

NEW STARTER DODGE 5.7L 5.7 RAM PICKUP TRUCK 05 06 07 08 2005 MANUAL TRANSMISSION. I have been told that this starter is clocked better and gives more header clearance.

That’s probably what I’ll go with then.
Not sure where I read about issues with fitment on the 360/904 combo......
Maybe it’s old age creeping up on me???
Thanks all!

Wally.

Or maybe it’s the Anheusers.....

I’ll keep searching and follow up with what I use.

Thanks again all!
