Any V8 people here have personal experience with the Nippondenso hi-torque starter on eBay for $109 ... will it crank a 325HP 327SBC with no problems ???

I bought that starter from that guy on ebay. I haven't used it yet so I can't tell you how well it cranks, but I can tell you it shipped quickly and spins when powered.

Also, it is not the type that can be reclocked, the gear housing and the flange are one piece.. BUT, it doesn't need to be reclocked, as it sticks out to the side. (the ones that need reclocking put the body of the motor up until they're reclocked)

skline has one on a small block. i think he is happy with it

I have one from him....fast delivery (he mailed it) Cranks the 350 just fine.

Cranks my 355 just fine.

Looks like its the same one that I paid over twice that price from Renagade. Mine works great.

They will turn a high compression engine with ease....

I just put one in my /4 and it is great. No more hot start (non-start) problems. Yes, he ships really fast. It is deffinately an upgrade from the stock starter. Use the eBay coupon and get it delivered to your door for $99. Eddy

Sounds like it will solve my problem ... what eBay coupon ???

Thanx ... seems to have worked. I used the C23 and got $15 off.
Great - thanx, guys ... and even though it seems to be politically incorrect ... Merry Xmas !!!
