Product Information

Product Details

Warranty Details (90 DAY REPLACEMENT IF DEFECTIVE)
High-torque, gear-reduction design. 100% NEW, not rebuilt. Offset design results in more clearance between the oil pan and the starter, and can be rotated for additional chassis clearance. The high-torque, high-output motor spins the engine over faster than stock starters, delivering 40-50% more cranking power. 3.75-to-1 sealed gear-reduction drive and full ball bearing construction. Includes shims to set pinion-gear engagement (when necessary). Approved by all leading sanctioning organizations.

ProForm High Torque Starter
Spent hours trying to get the correct bolts since the supplied bolts were to short. Went for test drive got towed home because would not start after engine was hot. Bad solenoid :0(
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend
Perfect fit, great torque for SB Chevy
Verified Buyer -
Smaller size and more cranking torque. Cleared the headers and made installing the exhaust a breeze.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
Does NOT fit a '94 to '96 RoadMaster!
Verified Buyer -
Have no idea what this starter fits!
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend
Months in and still cranking strong.
Got as a replacement for a burnt out old high torque starter. It was smaller and lighter and made a huge improvement in space between the starter and my headers on my truck. Its been three months and still cranks over my high compression engine.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
Great product
Verified Buyer -
Perfect fit
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
