nice

but wow, why the expensive starter? your not running 13:1 cr are you?

if you haven't already placed the order i would go to the parts store and buy one with a lifetime warretee. works fine on mine

Those valve covers you are going to love. I've got the centerbolt style.

On the starter I'm with Ryan. I'm running 10:1 compression on mine and with a lifetime starter as well. No problems at all (knock on wood).

Don't forget to order a new timing pointer to go with the new timing cover.

Why not get a mini-hi-tork starter? They are smaller and not prone to heat soak from your headers.

i was gonna get a stock style starter for cheaper, but my dad thought i should get a better higher end starter, so he paid for some of it

LOHRTBT · 02-06-2004, 11:22 AM

cOOL... its gonna look nice man!

MylilBowTie · 02-06-2004, 12:32 PM

Not to pick and complain but I would have gotten a Stewart water pump. Stage 1 at least if not stage 2.

79Silv4x4 · 02-06-2004, 04:11 PM

the only thing that i would change would be chrome rather than polished aluminum--that sh!t is tough to maintain.

I'm with you. Eric, polished engine components on a driver are going to be more of a biotch than Dave.

LMAO!! But to Dave ( aka ANAL ANDY ) it's nothing at all. Remember the grease stains we got on his carpet in the garage from working on Jon's truck? He was out after it with B-12 before we could get the truck out of the garage!!

BTW: Dave's truck is clean only because he's cheating on it with the Trans AM

:p

Eric, sweet lookin parts. Can't wait to see the engine come together.

As far as the "keepin it clean" problem. Couldn't Eric just shoot a couple coats of clear on them valve covers.

from www.jegs.com
Our Prostarter Starters are built with full, ball bearing construction, instead of bushings that can prematurely wear out. Weighs only 10.5 pounds. Billet aluminum adapters feature up to 4 [b]adjustable mounting positions (except 555-10002 and 555-10010) allowing more header or oil pan clearance. 4.41:1 gear reduction[/b (others offer 3:1) with cranking power for engines that have as much as 15:1 compression. 80-90 Amp draw. Aluminum solenoid housing is sealed with O-rings for added protection. GM starters come with bolts and shims.

sounds like its got quite a few advantages over the stock reman unit to me.
