Stuck at Costco and my car won’t start. Wouldn’t jump so I’m guessing the starter. Clicks but won’t turn over. Couldn’t get it push started either since the lot is small and a mom and 2 kids could t push hard enough. (That was a sight)

Does anyone know if the SBC V8 conversation requires a starter for a 350 or some other one? I might be over thinking this but the renegade site has their own hi torque starter and I just want to be able to get home without a tow so I can work on my car in the garage. Can go to Oreilley but don’t know what to order.

My SBC conversion would start fine with the stock starter....when cold. After running a while...no go. I replaced it with a high torque (converted Japanese car starter).

It may start fine when you get back to the CostCo and it has cooled down.

A Chevy starter will not fit (and if it did would turn the engine over the wrong way)

Renegade's high torque starter will work fine but it is about twice the cost for the same thing from other vendors.
