I don't want to call anyone ignorant. It's just being aware of these things. Believe me, by dad is only 65, and I worry daily about him being duped on a social security scam or something. He isn't stupid, nor am I saying anyone is, but I hope everyone here starts to learn about these types...

If their pan kit doesn't come with the stick, and that's the one they recommend, then you are fine. The only way that pan will work is with a block entry dipstick. It says 6.5 quarts. Put 6.5 in it. Making sure to fill the filter, and then check the safe level. You'll know then if it's...

Seriously, 3 seconds in you can tell its AI. It's sad people believe this crap. This post and that video is the literal deffinition of Fake news, and spreading misinformation.

I have no doubt an OE Bosch module is reliable. But these copy of a copy distributors are not. Module aside, the lack of adjustability, poor bearings, sloppy tolerances, aren't worth the risk. We got in a batch of these years ago to test in a shortage, I scrapped or returned 95% of them...

It goes in the block. Your fill level might not be perfect on the stick if not using their pan is all.

Yes, 6.5 quarts including the normal sized filer. Baffle in the sump. And hellcat type windage tray / gasket

Spare parts easy enough to get, and if not ours, then the msd pieces go right in. Search: 2 results found for "module"

Thanks buddy, yes all those distributors with the "Australian kickoff module" on the side are junk. They aren't adjustable at all, the bearings are regularly too tight on the shaft, so they generate heat into the electronics and burn them up. You can splice a regular gm 4 pin in, in a pinch...

Yeah, I ended up stopping and talking with them too. They had an aluminum gm block also. 6000-7000 is what their ballpark was on that. Wow....

YUP! nice to meet ya in person. hope ya liked checking out the engines! i'll keep you in the loop on the Hybrid head stuff!!

Am I missing something besides some EQ iron heads?

Does Promax do mopar heads anymore? I feel like I reached out to them a few times and they did not. But maybe they brought them back?

Now the throttle body, that's a great fit for any of them. Especially at the price point. Mpfi front throttle engines react very little to TB size.

Its There are plenty of youtube comparisons out there. I dont habe an A/B myself since the plastic was never an option for us. In general, they would be similar to the holley intakes of the same design. In general these tend to trade about 20-ft lbs on the bottom end for 20 hp on the top end...

working on a BPE middle sump swap pan. BluePrint Engines Branded. We have the mold done, and samples. just waiting on production runs. it'll have a hard tube dipstick also.

You helped me through the tough times lol

"Big Dumb Kitty" and "Mean Kitty" in that order lol. My affectionate names for them. Or as my son calls them "Seamus" and "Hazel" same order. The big tuxedo Tom was a rescue from a hoarding situation with 60 others. He was supposed to be a barn cat (had been deemed feral) , and my wife...

I probably have one of the BluePrint sample "rejects" in my office (where the oil fill was just a tad off on a pre production model) shoot me a pm if interested.

Correct. Just the holley stick. If it was just for 1 engine, I would have made a spacer. We did switch back to an oem plastic style cover in the long run. And have a dipstick being made for a cast aluminum swap pan as we speak.

Sorry, by common, I mean the 904 starter deal Is more common that I realized. Not that the shop ripping people off is a common thing. I don't have enough details to do that. For all I know it's a car dealership with no classic experience, and no idea how much info they were given by cust. Or...

I'm sure you're good :) but i will do that. i greatly appreciate you reminding me about this. I literally bought one of these and have it sitting on the shelf from the last time you told me about it several years ago. lol. I offered to buy this customer one. hopefully he reports back!

Yeah, it's a real shame the customer didn't call us sooner. unfortunately the shop really took advantage of him. Sounds like it's common, and if it were sitting right in front of most of us, anyone else would have added some clearance to the block, and maybe a little to the starter, and...

Thanks all. Still surprised I have never ran into this, but clearly you guys have shown me it's a thing. Come to think of it, I have always had 727's besides a few stock setups.

Thank you sir. Ya know, I think I Even have one of those on the shelf at my house. You have shown me that one before, and I don't know if I ever gathered it was a problem solver vs just a cool new mini starter option. We'll give it a shot

Just a random version of the magnum block that has a fatter casting? It's just crazy to me we sell 300 of these a year, for 15 years, and first someone has brought it to our attention. I was Even wondering if there was an old cat iron 904 behind a poly motor he used or something.

1000% agree, but he bough the engine from A reseller, he never called us until he was sunk, and furious, and wayyyyy to much in it.

It's not the terminals. Our starter comes with this adapter on it already. It's the body hitting.

That's possible I suppose. I have had a bunch of magnum blocks and pretty sure i even had a full size starter on one of them and never had to grind anything. New hemi's I have...but haven't seen this on a sb.

Hey Friends, In short, have a customer going rounds with starter motors. he has a 64 A body. with a 904 push button. our magnum blocked 408. His shop is absolutely destroying him on labor to attempt to randomly install random starter after starter motor. he has the dakota starter in hand...
