High-Torque Mini Starter
  • Chevrolet Engines
  • 166-Tooth Flywheel
  • 2.0 kW Power Output
  • 3.75:1 Sealed Gear Reduction
  • Cranks Engines up to 15:1 Compression
  • Offset Design for Oil Pan Clearance

    The offset body is the point of this one. Rotating the starter away from the oil pan buys clearance a straight-body unit cannot, and the housing can be indexed further for header or chassis clearance. Behind that it is a proper gear reduction starter on full ball bearings, spinning a 15:1 engine over faster than a stock unit turns a stock one.

    Proform 66262 High-Torque Mini Starter Features:

    • Fits Chevrolet engines with a 166-tooth flywheel.
    • 2.0 kW power output.
    • 3.75:1 sealed gear reduction drive.
    • Delivers 40 to 50 percent more cranking power than a stock starter.
    • Rated to crank engines up to 15:1 compression.
    • Offset design increases clearance between the starter and the oil pan.
    • Housing can be rotated for additional chassis clearance.
    • Full ball bearing construction.
    • Built from all-new components, not rebuilt.
    • Mounting shims included.
  • Small Size, Big Power! This 100% new mini-starter is the hot ticket for applications where tight header clearance tends to make your starter hot. And since it's only 2/3 the size of a stock starter, it will fit where a stocker won't. Choose from standard 1.4 kilovolt or hi-output 2.0 kilovolt model, with no increase in size.
