Small size perfect for tight spot
I used this on my 97 Camaro w/Th400. I had to get a smaller starter due to the turbo kit. this fit the bill perfectly. I cut off the little ear as it wasn't needed and hit the pipes. I like how it can be adjusted to provide more space between the headers & starter solenoid.

Fits Chevy ZZ4 with TH350
Bought to replace the starter on my Chevy ZZ4 with TH350 trans. Bolts up easily with hardware and shims included. Cranks quickly and no issues, hopefully it has a long happy life.

Perfect for '96 firebird formula LT1
Direct fit to my 1996 firebird formula LT1 much smoother than the stock and turns over effortlessly first time everytime so far. Also my long tube headers caused zero issues with fitment or installation

Mighty Mouse!! ð small but packs a punch
Had issues with my starter not staying up close to the flex plate. Come to find out the torque was cracking the parts store starters and not to mention they’re way too heavy. This starter completely blew me away. I have a broken spot on the ear of the block on my small block 350. This thing is so light weight and easy to install and has plenty of torque to turn that motor over. Very impressed!!!! Saved me from replacing my whole block ð
