staggered bolt pattern sbc starters

Lyn Smith · 08-08-2021, 02:30 PM

What year starter do I ask for when ordering a staggered bolt pattern aluminum snouted starter for my sbc 168 tooth flywheel starter? the one on my 55 is noisy and want to get a spare.

Powermaster lists what you are looking for in their starter choices. They show 8 different performance starters from OE right up to their Ultra Torque with the configuration your looking for. To date I have had zero issues with their products your results may differ.

Don't you need a bell housing mount starter and not a block mount starter for the '57 #3731548 block? I only have a Tilton mini starter # which is 54-00015.

I called House of Payne about a starter for my car. He told me save your money and buy a GM mini starter reman # 6449 for a late 90's truck fits all the way up to 8.1L. You just have to be sure to get the correct bolts as they are a little shorter. You can find high torque reman and new on ebay and they work great. For me it works even better as my tow vehicle is a late 90's truck so the spare I have fits the racecar and the tow vehicle.

Thanks for the info on the aftermarket starters,but I need to go down to the auto parts store and get a original style starter as I need to have it on the car in a day or so.

Good afternoon Lyn,
I believe the starter that's in my 454 (7.4 Liters - ugh!) 1989 20 series Surburban 2wd, Auto transmission is the staggered pattern and High Torque.
They call it a 2500R series if you have to go to an Auto Zone or Parts Authority or one of the Chain parts outlets.
I hope this helps.

Respectfully,
Henry Kunz 1534 H/SA

Lynn - I have a factory mini starter on my 68 Camaro w/ 400 sbc. Just ask for a starter for a 1998 K1500 w/ a 350. It's staggered bolt pattern and works great with the headers.O'Reilly part number is N613326A.
