My New TSP Sleeper 482 Stroker Motor

It's a fun problem to have, eh?

 

Coming together nicely Ray. How old are the BFGs?

 

Thanks for all the pictures and additional information Ray. I’m really looking forward to hearing more about your experiences with the car once you get some more seat time. I’m getting excited to have something similar in mine sometime soon!

 

Ray, Any info on that LT1 starter? Getting another bowl of popcorn. Thanks

 

These starters are great too

 

Yeah that looks nothing like the one in the photo he posted.

 

Because it's not the one in the photo he posted. It's a mini starter LIKE the LT1 starter. I was just posting it as another option because they're very similar.

 

Ah...Got it. Thanks.

 

Two options ,...any 93 to 97 LT1 powered vehicle,...BUT,..the better option is the 94 to 97 Corvette starter,...it has the best foot print,..stronger design and easier to wire

 

Thank Ethan, never knew about the Vette starter.. how's it fit with headers? Design is the same as the powermaster.

I have used the LT-1 starter on my run stand for years, to start everything from mild 350's, to high compression 555/560's.

The fronts are about 3 years old and the back 295/50 x 15s just about 2 years. I've already bought a pair of MT drag radials and 15 x 8 Buick Rallies for serious traction work. They are 275/50 x 15 and are the same diameter as my 295/50 x 15 Radial TAs. Don't know why since 275s should be shorter but, they are.

 

The light, high torque LT1 bolted right in and cranked the motor right up. No shims were needed. Mine did come with two new bolts which were just a tad shorter than the original bolts and needed for our motors. Even the factory starter shield bolted back onto the block.

 

Thanks guys, Great info to book mark.

 

Those MT tires are going to dead hook, I hope you have good u-joints!

 

Gobs of room in all directions,...you can use a regular 1/4 ratchet to hook up the wires with room to see and move

 

It's spins my dad's 13.8 to 1 464 like nothing
