mini starter for 440?

[daytona kid]

Is this what I want for my 440 to give me more room for headers and easier install and removal.? And is this a good place to buy one?

Yup, Dakota Starter. I got it on mine, Got it at O'Rielly's

I'd go to O'Rielly's, if there's one near. Warranty/replacement through the Rock is a PITA

This is the one I bought over a year ago for my Hemi. No issues yet.
No core charge. Hope this helps

Simplest thing to do is go to your favorite local auto parts (NAPA, Autozone, whatever) and
fetch one for the V8 Dakota. They're cheap and have a lifetime warranty and from my experience,
robust as heck, too - and if it ever does lay down on you, walk in to the store and hand it to 'em
for free replacement.

I've purchased new mopar mini-starters for all my big-inch, race engines. NEVER an issue. I don't buy rebuilt anything, if new is available.

Dont forget to buy a terminal relocation adapter from one of the members here. Im sure someone knows who that guy is and will post his info. Never mind serch gave me his info. "Yep, I used got he same kit and it’s the bees knees. Talk to Chris @Valiantone. He’ll set you up"

I guess I'm the lucky one with using 2 junkyard mini's on my Mopes for the last 17+ years each.

yep I was gonna' tell him to
'remember to just cut down that main 1/4-20 lug
to clear the side of the block'

it looks like that kit, addresses the issue/problem

I have been running the mini on my 440. I always just take the adapter off and hook directly to the starter I have never seen the adapter before new one for me. KB9GIB

Got this new one from O'reilly's today for $117, no core. I'm gonna try going with removing the adapter, and hooking straight to starter. Thanks for the info guys.

The good thing is that terminal we all speak of points right at a freeze plug. So there is a tiny bit of clearance there but like these guys said cut the post down a tad and you don't really need the adapter.

I HATE this site but it has good intel! Just to be aware, I had to do some grinding on mine, even on my /6! Some have to, some don't, let it be known. That thing on my /6 spins like a MOFO!! Good Luck
