Overall Assessment

Customers praised the product for its perfect fit and ability to effortlessly start engines, particularly in a '66 Thunderbird with a 428. They positively mentioned its excellent clearance with headers. The product's quality and adherence to advertising were appreciated. However, durability issues were noted with one customer's unit failing after 18 months of minimal usage. Despite that, overall the product was recommended for its performance and good practicality.

Starter fits great and is clockable with the FE engine, only bad part is having to measure the depth it sits in there with the flywheel.

Would Recommend

This seems to be a quality starter.

I bought this thinking my starter had fried when my ignition switch shorted out and fried all the wires under the dash. After rewinding the truck nothing worked in the starting cycle. Turns out it was my battery that was not up to par, but I do like this starter. Only thing is now my Ford sounds like a Chrysler when I crank it.

How long is this starter, from face of bellhousing to the end of starter. Trying to clear a set of Sanderson FF 427 headers. They say that there is 7 3/4 inches.
