Will it fit my small-block Chevy?

It is listed for Chevrolet V8 small-block and big-block engines. Check your block's starter mounting pattern and flywheel tooth count before ordering.

Does it work with headers?

The compact red aluminum housing is designed to leave clearance between the oil pan and headers, which is the usual reason people switch to a mini starter.

Can it crank a high-compression engine?

It is rated for engines up to 18:1 compression, with larger field windings and a stronger armature than a stock-style unit.

One starter motor. Mounting bolts and shims are not listed, so plan on reusing or sourcing your own.

Does it fit big-block engines too?

Yes, it is listed for both small-block and big-block Chevrolet V8s, though you should confirm the mounting pattern for your specific block.

Is it a direct replacement for a factory starter?

It is a direct-fit design with a billet mounting block, but the smaller body and clocking options mean you may need to rotate it to clear headers.
