Starters prefered

DB Electric has 2 different ones for the 460. I bought the $50 something one and had some challenges with it wanting to crank my ride. It worked, but not very good. http://www.dbelectrical.com/p-1290-ford-starter-f-e-truck-van-75l-460-92-97-336-1169-sa-795.aspx

I went back and they talked me into the other one. I bought their $96 Nippondenso starter and it was like night and day. It works better than great!

I have the $50 one w/0 issues. but I have a small 14.5.1 engine w/o Crank Trigger anymore.

I ALSO HAVE A PILE OF ABOVE MENTIONED STARTERS WHICH HAVE BROKEN. I PUT A JEGS HIGH TORQUE
STARTER ON MY 14.5 PLUS TO 1 COMP. 557 AND ITS BEEN ON FOR 2 SEASONS WITH NO PROBLEMS.
TO NOTE I TRIED TIMING RETARD WITH NO HELP, CHECKED AND SHIMMED THE STARTER FOR PROPER
DEPTH ON THE FLEX PLATE, BUT THE THING THAT WORKED THE BEST FOR ME WAS TO GET THE ENGINE
TURNING OVER WITH THE IGNITION POWER OFF, PUSH GO PEDAL DOWN QUARTER THROTTLE AND FLIP ON
THE IGNITION. IT WORKS FOR ME

this is the same starter i have now been on my 460 for three years now but not real high cr only around 12.1 will see before long how it does on the 552 with 14-7.1 cr

Power Master ftw. They are local for me and turn over anything.

I promise you, you'll be amazed by the Meziere if you decide to spend the money on it. Its pricey but so worth it. We switched from CSR Platinum Series on our mountain motor(turning over slow), to the Meziere, and it turns it over like a street car motor. We were impressed.
