Anybody out there using one of the Hi-torque Mini Starters? My stock starter is dragging - again - and was considering an upgrade. Have seen a note next to some listed for 455CI Olds (Not Motor home or Toronado) not for FWD. Don't see any clearance issues and don't believe the block is any different RWD vs. FWD.

Any help appreciated.

Bob,

The Delco 10MT starter (what ours are just with a different nose casting than most) is a very durable unit. It can be completely rebuilt at very nominal cost. If you have access to a lathe, you can do the job yourself and the first time won't even take very long. A more that complete parts kit can be had from Ebay for 30$.

Somebody here did at least investigate installing one, but the price was something to behold.

Matt - I've done 4 of them
