i read somewhere that you could use a starter out of a 93 dorango and it works and looks like the mopar performance mini starter.. could be wrong and could be off on year.. but thats what i heard and plan on doing..

i wonder if that would save some pounds..

or maybe 9 lbs less than a Short /6 type starter.{what my 273 had in it}
