Re: [Amc-list] Flexplate & Mini-Starter

[Dan Curtis <d.curtis@xxxxxxx>]

I more than a bit confused by why anyone would need a mini stater for a 10.1
compression ratio engine in the first place.  Unless they significantly
reduced the AMC starter torque characteristics from the early years, a 10.1
compression ratio is not a big deal and shouldn't be an issue for a stock
starter.

As for the flex plate breaking, I have run 450+ horsepower engines on stock
flexplates multiple times and never had a single problem.  It sounds like
your 360 will be between 300 and 325 hp so all the stock gear should work
just fine.
