looks mean!

IMO I think so too... I love it!
Im so ready to drive it home....





Going to take some pics of the GRILL that Ill be putting on there, that came off a 87 chevy 3500 dually in a little bit, I want to use the lights from a dually as well, the 1 square, and the smaller park beneath it. So the grill in fact is actually wider.

i know. My block is already taped for both type of starters, so I may try the other type see what happens..

So is the motor producing too much power for a standard starter to be able to handle it?

that is what Im being told, i need a high compression starter. something with a overdrive gear or something. Then as Im researching now as well, quite a few people seem to have this same problem. Something to do with the starters needing to be shimmed or spaced with washers.

Im going to get down to the bottom of it, but Im getting it towed back to my house again. There it will sit, while I get my Tahoe up and running. lol Just got a built 65e for it. So going to install that with 3200 converter. Then come back to this truck.

I've actually heard of GM starters needing to be shimmed sometimes although I've never had to do that with any of my GMs. With that said I've never produced the power you are either

you need a mini stater or race starter for higher compression engines or you may need to check if you need shims. i had a 1982 c10 with a 413ci .60 over 11.5 to 1 compression and ran a stock starter but it has to be shimmed right the newer engines don't need shims like the older ones do
