Since I changed from a 12" flywheel to a 14" for externally balanced 400 rotating assembly, I cant find a starter for it.

1. 168 tooth 14" 400ci SBC flywheel
2. Straight bolt hole pattern starter.
3. Alpha bellhousing.

Anyone have a part number for me? from NAPA Preferably?:)

And thats your problem. The 168 tooth flywheel uses a cross bolted starter. I assume your block was not drilled for a cross bolted starter?


They call this a marine starter;

At the price of $454 dollars I believe them too. It will work with a strait bolt setup on either a 153 or 168 tooth flywheel.
Don't know if you may have any interference issues with your flywheel cover though.

Good luck!

Ayuh,.... Your block Don't have the 3rd starter mounting hole,..??

The Flywheel diameter determines which starter has to be used, not the other way 'round....

The Hot Rod starter Rogers posted will probably work...
Fit it outside the boat so you can See, 'n Measure things...



Btw,... What part of my signature don't you understand,..?? :(
