Good Morning C Body Brethren,
I finally got my 440 into Black Betty and mated to my 727 pushbutton, but the mini torque starter I have doesn't fit naturally as it did with the 383. I have only been able to find 1 or 2 different mentions of this via Google where some machining was required to the half moon area of either the block or the starter.
I tried the original starter as well, but it has the same clearance problem as the mini starter does. Before I go machining my block or either starter, I wanted to see if anyone else had this issue and if so, how they remedied it.
Thanks as always gentlemen.
Mike
