Hi all... Was wondering what starting motor is the starter of choice for larger displacement engine swaps... Mine is/will be a 3.2 v6 and my current 914 starter is just not happy... Would like to hear what others have chosen... Thanks to all in advance..

I got one of these, from Hi Torque. Overkill for my 2056 but it was the best option for me.

It works great. I put an SR68x on the original six. It worked fine, but it was not the correct factory starter. I have replaced it with an SR19x starter. |

Highly dependent on the transmission you are using.
If a 901, using a 911 starter makes for a big power jump over the /4 starter. I have been using one of the IMI-155 starters that Pelican sells now for about a decade. Spins my 2.3 way faster then a stock 914 starter, and weighs a good bit less too. Zach |
