Eagle makes a terrific Ford 385-series 4340 forged rotating assembly. You'll need a 4.3" stroke. I just bought one. It's in the machine shop being installed. Good luck!

I'll be taking the car to a shop on Tuesday to have both the starter and the flexplate changed out. It really makes no sense to change one without changing the other. If they're grinding, they're...

I've double checked with Summit each time I bought that starter, just for piece of mind. My question: "Is this starter compatible with a 164 tooth flex plate?" Each time, the answer was "Yes".

Thanks, Tom and Joey.

If I simply install a new starter without changing something else, this will happen again. That's guaranteed at this point. The geometry has to change.

Back in July 2017 I installed a new engine. When mating up the C6 transmission to the engine block, I ommitted reinstallation of the engine backplate to make things easier. That turned out to be a...

The fact that the ECU throws no code when the engine dies points to loss of power to the ECU. There's no code for that. So, there's a good chance you have a loose power connection to the ECU.
