I tried to do a bench start on my Rover V8 yesterday. I'm using the stock 914 starter with the Kennedy adapter plate and flywheel. The starter engaged well, but just barely turned the engine over. My battery was freshly charged.
I'm going to take the starter in tomorrow to have it bench tested, but in the meantime, I'm wondering if the stock starter is just not up to the job of turning a V8. I know most of the V8's going into these things are SBC's, but what are you using for a starter? Tom |

I used the high-torque starter on my last 2.0. I will use the same type for my 215 conversion. Besides I like the neat sound that they make.

Dave Are you sure the hi torque starter is up to the job on the 215? Tom (edit) oops, never mind. I should have read the previous posts. |
