I am looking for a better than stock starter for my 355 motor; mine recently broke. Will this one work and clear my mid length headers? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-S...item2310225d28 or this one http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SBC-B...item2eb49b18c3

It looks alot like my Jegs starter. I had a grind some of the corners off to make it fit.

Those seem awfuly inexpensive for a high performance starter. I consider this an area where you get what you pay for. A decent "proper" mini starter should run you around 200 bucks. I'll suspect any brand new starter for 70 bucks especially off eekbay.

I'd advise you to look at a brand at Summet or Jegs and have them tell you if it'll fit. If there are any issues, it would be easy to return them.

you are going to want to get one with the long and short bolts like the stock setup is..

OK I see I am going to go with the starter from Db electrical, because my starter came from Db and should be warranted; mine was just the stock replacement not the corvette unit.

OK.

HMMM. Their ebay ad is for a new item but the details says it's re-manufactured.

I bought a cheapy off ebay a few years ago. Connectors broke and such and I had to solder things back together and such. It has worked on a couple of engines since, currently on a wagon because I put a stock one back on the performance car.

You want better than stock you are going to spend a lot, the stock one is great.

Yes but the stock corvette starter is better and will not run me too much more.
