What f'n retard put that used stock starter in a f'n $18,000.00 engine.

You need a mini starter if one will fit.

Do you know what type of headers those are.

ok then you need to contact the header mfg and ask them if a mini starter will fit a 302 with those headers . do NOT by a mini starter until you find this out because it may not fit.

if you buy a mini starter, almost any of the cheaper ones will work fine unless they are made in china.

The noises you heard when turning it over by hand the other day were probably the starter motor.

Sorry but fortunately i think i will be too busy to see that.

Ok, so put your friggen rockers back on the same cylinders you took them off of when the piston is on tc and if you have not committed a sin this week, you may not even have to adjust any of them.  :thumb:

.

here are the starters . the mini starters are taller, so f you have room on top of the starter, you should be able to use one but im concerned about clearance because you couldnt get the top bolt out without removing the header.

one of the mini starters has a 3/4" thick flange . can you get it in if you put the bolt in the hole first then put the starter in place?
