I had a factory Mopar Jeep starter (1992 Grand Cherokee) in my 6 cyl. gremlin stock eliminator race car. It was still working great 12 years later when I sold the car. AFAIK it's still in use. BUT, I did have to go over to the late style flex plate with the deep offset and I always started the car with the ignition off and then clicked it on. That goes a long way to starter efficiency.

in my 10.1/5 290 because of clearance issues with the header and the side post on the starter I used a 6cly ford starter out of a Fairmont were the tab for the cable is on the back of the starter

Which is a Wrangler flexplate with a 998 or 999 trans. That flexplate will work with a 904. The offset of the ring gear is different than the old style starter flexplates -- 4.0L starter won't engage the old flexplate properly... if at all.

There you go. (Look fellas someone answers the question asked, he gets a cookie..the rest of y’all get coal in your stocking) That’s the company I’m leaning toward. Electrical? Run it off the firewall solenoid or is that a delete in your situation? Fit? Shims or yours fit like a glove? |
