Which year Dakota to I get a mini starter that will handle my 470 11:1 compression with a solid roller?
It doesn't necessarily have to come out of a Dakota. I got mine out of a Dodge Ram. It was 22 bucks at the U-Pull-It and is by far the best starter I had to date. I gave them that junk mini starter that I got from the parts store that always gave me trouble in exchange...Which year Dakota to I get a mini starter that will handle my 470 11:1 compression with a solid roller?
wow! I like this idea! No rigging of the electrical hookups either? What exact vehicle do I get this starter from?DIrect bolt on for Slant, Small Block or Big Block.

so cool! I bet its a good bit lighter also?I have one myself. I actually got it for the Chrysler 331 Hemi I built for the rat truck but I am going to swap it onto the 170 n the Valiant I think.

To give you "some idea" how much power a permanent magnet field makes over older "wirewound field" starters, the one on the 01 Cummins I just bought is not much larger than the Dakota starter. As an old man who sold parts in a previous life, "I'm amazed."
so the factory wiring on my dart wont bolt up to that starter without mods?I did the same as jpar. Got it at the pic and pull off a mid 90's Ram for $21 plus a core fee of $6. To use the factory plug I spliced it with the lead from the solenoid. Been using it for 5 years.
well, I tried sending him a message but his inbox is full.. I would SURE like to buy one from him if anyone hears from him..Here's the original thread on the starter terminal conversation. It's been closed but you could PM him to see if he has any left.
[FOR SALE] - Mini Starter Conversion Terminals
Yep.it had a terminal extension on it and I removed it.Some setups need it thoughIs this a direct bolt on for a big block? No mods to make it work?
Sorry for the delay but I'm just reading this. I remember reading about that conversion a while back and did some research/shopping and ordered a few of the needed parts for my mini starter. When I get home (at work) I'll rummage around in the shop and try to post a couple part numbers/vendor...…that is, if you haven't found them already.well, I tried sending him a message but his inbox is full..
