Starter took a ****!!!!!!!!!!!

[Guero]

Well I was at the track were I did a best of 13.9 at 103. 60 foot at 2.5. Sorry track prep. With stock Cobra timing and a A/F of 11.90 I know theirs alot left Any how, I was up next to race and I try to start it, and it just sounded like a whine. So I got scared, and thought my engine blew of something lol!!! So I tell my bro to crank it as I hear the sound and sure enough the engine wasn't cranking. SO we push started the bitch lol!!! So what kind of Starter should I get. I want something that will last cuz I know how much of a bitch it is with The damn Long tubes!!!!!!!!

Starter took a ****!!!!!!!!!!!

You should have seen the one I took this morning.

The Fox starter will bolt in to our cars but I'm not sure about fitment issues with long tubes. The OEM SN95 starter is a gear reduction type and really is a nice design. You get tons more torque out of them. I actually picked up a new one off of eBay for less than a reman unit. It's been working great for over a year now.

The Fox starter would bolt in, but you'd have no solenoid. Ours are on the starter, theirs were remotely mounted.

Oh yeah, there is that small issue, too.

A late model fox starter has a piggyback solenoid (i.e. asking for one for a '93).

Guero, with your LT's, I'd get a nice aftermarket mini so you dont have to do this crap again.

Good luck.

Well I called Ford and they wanted 108. With whatever gay warranty Ford offers. So I called my friend at checkers and he got me a Autolite with Lifetime warranty for 100 bucks. So I bought it. Autolite is a pretty good company right?? Well I love their spark plugs.

So I go to pull out my old starter and its just hanging there cracked from the bolts. Any how I installed the new one and holy cow it starts up like a champ. No more double cranking

Nice work mang. I personally think starters are a crap shoot when heat soak is a possibility (your LT's ambient temps, etc).

I dont wanna know how your old one broke.

 

[Guero]

I have no Idea how it broke. Their was a bolt missing on the bottom. That could of easily caused it. Any how it has life time warranty the LT's can **** up as many as they want

just wrap it like I did.
