High Torque Starter for 351W/C6

[lldoor]

Hi,

i drive a 71 Ford Mustang Fastback and it have a 408 Stroker with C6. The Stroker is based on a 351 Windsor engine. When the eingine is hot i do have starting problems, because of the high compression. I am looking for

a high torque starter. I think Tilton starters a very good, but they are too expensive. I live near Hamburg Germany and i have to pay high shipping costs and taxes too. So my question is, which affordable High Torque starter is the best for my engine/trans combination.

Thank you very much. Dirk from Germany

DB Electrical makes an inexpensive PMGR starter for your application. I've had good luck with mine.

+1 on the dbelectrical starter. Just do a search on this forum and you'll find lots of happy customers, me included. They are a lot lighter, smaller and easy to install.

I use a Powermaster hi-torque unit and don't have any issues with my 408 at 10.2:1. If it's not starting well when it's hot it might be a bad electrical connection exhibiting inhibited current flow caused by the additional electrical resistance when the wires get hot.

I've used the power master high torque starter. It's awesome, I went through 3 stock starter n all died including power master, make sure you buy the high torque power master, plus it's smaller n way lighter.

Today it was fine weather and i did a test drive on the German “Autobahn“, we have no speed limit! The engine was very hot and starts like it should with the new starter!

That is great! Glad you got it fixed, and it was simple to do!

One of my favorite Mustang commercials is the GT500 on the Autobahn:
