What starter for t5 swap ?

What starter do I need for my t5 swap ? I'm guessing mine won't fit... I'm using a t5 bell with a 28oz 157 tooth flywheel... I hope to use a mini starter if possible...

 

I use my old starter

 

Cool,,, I really thought the old one wouldn't fit... That will save me some cash...lol

 

The E3ZR bellhousing has SAE threads so you can use your same bolts. Don't know about the E6 bellhousing.

 

i have found some of the old starters dont fit the t5 bell and flywheels. the snout is just not the right length. i havent bothered figuring which ones. i like to put the 94-95 mustang starters in. they are the mini high torque factory starter. they are much lighter and have more cranking power. its kind of a no brainer to switch to

 

Basically I believe it's the early small block manual trans starters from the '60/'70s that have the short snout and won't fit any late application...AFAIK all the small block starters from at least the early/mid '80s interchange...

I've even used a 428CJ 4-speed starter on a automatic 351 and it worked without a problem... The cable stud was at a odd angle and there was no place for the third starter bolt, but it cranked without issue and was on the engine for several years...

 

I will see if my 74 starter will fit, I will go with a mini starter if I have to buy one... Thanks...

 

I used a starter from a 92 mustang direct bolt on and lighter too

 

I used a mini starter off a newer mustang also.

 

Those same mini starters on Mustangs were also used on E & F series, my '96 5.0 F-150 has same...
