Re: Starter For 401 question

[farna@xxxxxxx]

1. The stock starter should turn over fast enough. I'd start by replacing the battery cables if the old ones are still in there, and go one size larger than stock. Don't forget to replace the engine to frame grounding starp/cable as well, with at least the same size as the battery cables. 

2. If the battery cables don't solve the problem there are gear reduction mini starters that are stronger than the stock one and give more header clearance to boot. Order one for a Jeep V-8 from Jegs/Summit, or give A.J. a call @ South Texas AMC.
