I run a 360 truck starter for 99 Durango.If it has the plastic they come off.Mines a 4 speed and been in for at least 15 years.My kid has a 440 Source in his 62 300 413.Been in for 4 years and no problems.Rocky
were they clockable starters? why wouldn't they work, clearance?

Some wont fit with the long studs on some blocks.They will touch.Mine had them.Put a nut on the stud trimmed it down a bit and installed.Most come with the new plastic connector.It needs removed to use on all Ive done.Some blocks have thick metal and might need a bit of grinding fro them to fit.Ive never seen it but a few have.The 440 Source starter just dropped in my kids 413.Rocky
mine ran into the block, there is the extra metal there, and ended up just taking the grinder to the start instead. Didn't take much, just a kiss here and there.
