BBC starters
« on: February 07, 2015, 12:16:44 AM »
So what's the best bet for a starter for my BBC in my Daytona 19.  It's 11:1 compression, .30 over, dual quads, nothing too crazy.

Once the motor goes back in I can't get to the starter to change it out so I want to make sure whatever I use is going to last.

OEM starter or something marine specific, MSD, others?

Thanks, Walt

Be careful what you buy.  A china no-name starter distributor will not swim out and push start your boat.  I sell and promote American IMI high torque starters because they work and you can buy service parts for them when they wear out.  11.0:1 is above normal and you should buy a higher torque starter.  Most china import starters are stock replacements and aren't designed to work with higher compression applications over 9.5:1.  You should be able to buy an IMI starter for less than $250, and call someone in the US for straight talk tech. answers.  Hope this helps.

On the pricey side, but I run a Meziere starter. Good for 7 or 8 hundred cubic inches.
You are able to clock the starter into different positions. Which may help in the tight situation have.
