    50981 is rated 3.0 out of 5 by 5.
    Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great starter with small problems Excellent starter. Cranks my 318 with 10.25:1 faster than an starter I have ever used. I did have to cut off some of the aluminum mounting plate for clearance for the bell housing.

    Rated 4 out of 5 by from 5098 vs. 50981 First, allow me to say, this review is particular to 'my' application/installation, and should not be construed for all circumstances. I originally bought the 50981 (clockable) DynaForce starter for my early 70's 440 mopar, but unfortunately, I had a very small interference issue. The housing around the gear, (not the aluminum mounting plate, but the red portion of the housing), protruded just enough to hit the engine block. No clocking would correct the inference. This interference, of the starter housing with the engine block, misaligned the top hole of the starter mounting plate with the threaded hole in the engine. I probably could have taken a file and flatten that area of the housing causing the interference, say 1/32" to make it fit. Nonetheless, I exchanged the 50981 with the nonclockable 5098. The 5098 fit perfectly, and works perfectly. My only discord with the 5098 is with the location of the terminals, as they are mounted on top (in the installed position), not to the side like the 50981, and they proved somewhat difficult to get to. These Dynaforce starters are high quality, look great, small, lightweight, and powerful. Glad I made the purchase.

    Rated 2 out of 5 by from Didn't Fit If you have a 426 hemi with TTI headers, the starter does not fit. I tried all of the different clocking positions and they all hit the headers in someway. The starter does look like a nice piece though.

    Rated 1 out of 5 by from Doesn't fit. Bought this starter for my 71 Charger with a stroked 440 (68 block) and the bracket is too big and hits the block do the mounting holes don't line up. Clocking the starter doesn't help. I ground down the mounting block, but then the housing hits the block. Now I have to decide if I'm going to ground down my block or see if they'll take back a butchered starter. If not, it's a pretty expensive paper weight. I was really hoping to find a starter that could stand up to the heat from my headers.
