Doing a clutch r & r and decided to install the mini starter I've had on the shelf for some time. The 25 year old OEM rebuilt I've used all this time is still perfectly good and there's no good reason to change. Never heat shielded and never bothered by that.
But I do have the mini starter which weighs 8 lbs to the OEM's 16 and it's also prettier
I know this will bite me in the a$$ but in it's going.
Would appreciate any comments from FE users about performance, longevity and reliability. MY SO is 427 inches and 10.4 compression. The starter is an IMI Performance Hi-Torque.
