Hi,
I'm planning on a 408W carbed stroker motor for my 89LX, and was wondering what is the best mini starter to use for this application to avoid heat/clearance issues with the L/T headers??...suggestions and comments are greatly appreciated...thanx

There are a few threads on ministarters... You can pick up a starter from a 93 mustang. It's about 1/2 the weight and size of the ones used in 1989.

My 93 Tbird came with one of there newer mini starters. It had 190,000 miles on it when I did the 393 stroker. Since I was real tight on cash, I decided to see if it would work for a while. That was 3 years ago. If you are under 11.5 compression ratio, the Ford ones do a great job.
