What Is The Best Mini Starter?

RKT said

I'm looking for the best recommended mini starter. One that fits the best and gives the most clearance. Also is an adjustable one a good option? Thanks for the help.

For anyone who is pulling their hair out looking for a Big Block RB mini starter, here is what you need with a 440, I went through this few weeks ago after installing TTI headers, I bought a new Dodge Dakota starter, yes it bolted up, however the positive terminal hits the block on a 440, you can shave it down but it doesn't leave you enough threads to bolt anything to it. I took the starter i had to a local re builder shop called MARS in DeKalb IL to figure out a solution, They ended up building me a new Denso starter with the terminal on the bottom, plenty of clearance, easy to mount the positive wire and signal wire. Call Mike at MARS 815-756-9019 Tell him you need a mini Denso starter for a Big Block 440 Chrysler just like the one he built for Jason Withers with the terminal on the bottom. He will be happy to build and ship one to you. They rebuild all of our starters and alt. at work too. He converted my Denso alt to a single wire. The cost of this new rebuilt starter was 120.00 well worth it. Yes its a mini high torque and it works perfect, I added two pics of the corrected rebuilt Denso mini starter (note the location of terminals) and the bottom pic is a stock Denso unit on a RB engine, you can clearly see the terminal issue I am pointing out. Also beware of the "new" starters from Napa and other stores as most of them are made in China, they are not actual Denso units.
