Overall Assessment

Customers highly regard the product for its superior quality and practicality, particularly as a starter for 427 dart pro engines. The screw-down lead for the solenoid trigger is highlighted as a significant improvement over stock starters with a spade plug. The addition of extra shims for alignment between the starter and engine block contributes to its usability. Though there are minor issues with some components lining up correctly, users have found alternatives and have still branded the starter as great for use in tight spaces. The starter's perfect fit and problem-free engine start have led customers to recommend it, particularly for LS swaps. Despite these minor issues, the overall benefits outweigh the drawbacks, and customers would buy it again.

Very nice starter. Best part is that you can reclock it to fit just about any situation. Installed on a mk3 supra swapped with a 5.3l LS. Has custom headers so be able to clock was a bonus. . Size is small so fits tight spots.

Would Recommend

Good little starter.

Spins my 427 dart pro over great. Big step up from a stock style starter. Screw down lead for the solenoid trigger is a big improvement from the stock starters with a spade plug. Extra shims for starter to engine block, shims for starter to starter block and includes starter bolts.

Great product

Great looking unit and sized for tight spaces, but...with the stock LS 1 plastic dirt shield in place the inner (closest to the engine block) bolt goes right in while the outer bolt will not line up to fasten. If the dirt shield is removed it will bolt up. Called Powermaster and they said would bolt up on LT but he had seen where it has an issue with the LS. But it's for an LS so why not manufacture to fit ! I will be making my own thin aluminum dust cover with the plastic stock piece modified to mount with this starter.
