Which high torque starter should I get?

Scrapla · 05-07-2006, 09:37 PM

I have a 347 with about 11:1 compression, I was looking at a fomoco starter part # 397-M-11000-A50 on JEGS and part # FMS-M-11000-B50 on SUMMITRACING. Im using a stocker right now and it starts it fine cold but when it heats up I have to let it sit about 15min to re start so I was thinking the average hi torque would be fine, what are your thoughts?

I switched to one for the weight savings alone and the much needed room it gave me with my full length headers. I bought one used from a local junkyard for 30-35 bucks.

It is a much stronger cranking starter as well, but just gave me the added extras too.

Alot of guys use the 94-95 5.0 starter. Its basicly a factory mini torque starter.

Mine is from a Ford f-150 with a 302 or 351. Pretty sure all the mid 90's trucks had em with that engine combination. Dont quote me here on exacts, been a few years since I bought it.
