my 440source mini starter fit with Hedman 78030's on a 451 (lowdeck), but not without a bit of massaging of one tube with a ball peen hammer and a torch 
YEP ^^^^^^^^^^^
I would like to spring for another set but figure what's the point if I have to beat them into submission.

Because they cost one-fifth as much as the "perfect fit" types, which STILL sometimes require a bit of persuasion!

I just went through this on my 68 Coronet 383 with headman elite headers. I bought a starter for a 94 Dakota 318 and it wouldn't fit. The later model V8 starter (I checked a 2002 dakota V8) has a shorter motor then the earlier one. I probably could have fit the later starter. My local Auto store had them for $129 plus core. The Earlier unit was only $80 plus core. I ended up putting the original back in for now. I'm eventually going with a late model 6.1 based stroker so this is only a temporary setup for me and I decided to save the cash now.

I am changing my Steering box and motor&trans mounts and while I am at it thought I would put a new starter on.It's a 440 not stock any thoughts from anyone on the best starter.Are the mini starter good do they last a long time or any other ideas.
67 cars need a little rubbing to get a mini starter in if headers are used. but the mini starter is the way to go. jeff57
