A Mini Starter with Maximum PunchYour starter has the thankless job of turning over your engine no matter the circumstances. Whether it is hot or cold out, or your engine has lots of cubic inches or high compression, the starter in your muscle car, classic truck, or hot rod has the tough task of spinning over your engine fast enough for the fuel and air mixture to be ignited by your ignition system. This takes roughly 400-500 rpms and if the starter cannot give you enough rpm you are not going anywhere. We all have heard that big block struggling to start at the end of the cruise night and if you don’t want to suffer the same embarrassing fate you need to upgrade your stock starter to a modern high-torque mini starter. The mini starter design uses the internal gear reduction to be able to provide higher rpm cranking no matter the operational conditions. Now you can crank that high-compression LS engine without crossing your fingers when you twist your ignition key!

Ready to Handle Your LS Engine’s Cranking NeedsThe benefits of utilizing a gear reduction starter are great. So much so that all the OE vehicle manufacturers have upgraded to similar high-performance starters beginning in the late 1990s. Chances are your daily driver uses just such a unit. They upgraded for the very same reasons you should—less weight, more room/access, and more starting power. Cranking output is an amazing 3.0 horsepower thanks to the 2.0 kW motor with 3.75:1 gear reduction unit. The efficient mini starter motor combined with the gear reduction means your electrical system and battery does not have to work as hard to turn over your engine. For those running a trunk mounted battery we do suggest upgrading to our Trunk Mount Battery Cable Kit.

The cast aluminum housing is strong, and we married it to an LS specific billet mount. We have designed this Chevy high torque starter motor to fit most Chevy LS engine applications that use a 168-tooth LS flywheel/flexplate. This includes 1997 and later Gen III and Gen IV LS engines including LS1, LS2, LS3, LS9, and LSA applications. This starter can also be used with 1999 and newer Vortec truck engines, including 4.8L, 5.3L, 6.0L, and 6.2L applications.

Directly Replaces Your Tired Stock StarterInstalling our mini starter could not be easier. The starter is designed to not only directly replace your original starter but includes new mounting bolts as well. The billet mounting block is drilled to accept the Chevy LS engine’s 168-tooth mounting location and can clock the mini starter body in one of three positions for clearance. Wiring is simple too, with no changes to your stock GM wiring necessary. We do offer a nifty Mini Starter Quick Disconnect Harness harness if you plan to have limited access to the starter’s wiring.
