Title: BBF 460 starter?
Post by: Tshaw562 on June 24, 2014, 06:27:05 PM

What's a good starter for the ford 460? We put in a cheap vatozone one just to get it on the water but now it's time to step it up a notch. What starters are you guys running?

Thanks!

I was reading up on this and I came to the conclusion that using a PMGR starter from a 1993 and up bbf is best for the price. Does anyone have any info on this?

I've known the 1993-up factory F250 mini starters to light 4-figure hp engines as big as 665 cubes. Don't know why you'd need any more than that as far as starter motors go.
