Hi , I think my starter drive is starting to fail so I was thinking of replacing it with a Mini Starter . I had one in my 401 Nailhead and I could use to pull my Hot Rod in the garage if I needed , as it was so powerful . This 340 Car is kind of new to me so I’m learning as I go. If they are available any sources would be great ! , Thanks in Advance .
Nailhead Rdstr, I can make for you ANY "Mini" you may want. Approx. cost around $395.00 + shipping. Tom T.
I ran a RobbMc on my 340. I had to grind a small spot where it touched the block which kept it from seating. I ran it for many years with no issue. I assume any of the common ones would work too. For example, this one has been recommended: https://www.amazon.com/STARTER-MERCRUISER-2-5L-5-7L-50-806965A4-50806963A2/dp/B008Y3O44S/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2M760H3EQ9Q14&keywords=Rareelectrical+NEW+STARTER+COMPATIBLE+WITH+MERCRUISER+STERN+DRIVE+3.0LX+90-98+OMC+MARINE+2.5L+5.7L+VOLVO+PENTA+INBOARD+AQ231A+AQ271A+BB261A+BB231A+1988+1989+323677+10096+ST96+30460+930707+9000822&qid=1686487609&sprefix=rareelectrical+new+starter+compatible+with+mercruiser+stern+drive+3.0lx+90-98+omc+marine+2.5l+5.7l+volvo+penta+inboard+aq231a+aq271a+bb261a+bb231a+1988+1989+323677+10096+st96+30460+930707+9000822,aps,189&sr=8-1
Thanks 12 Lives , I ordered one last night and will have it for the Weekend . I didn’t want to spend too much anyway as I have a Chevy 383 Stroker sitting on a stand with a Muncie 4 Spd. And a Bell housing I think I might put in it at the end of the season . The 340 is nice but there’s not much available for it since it was a two year only motor . I’m thinking of putting A/C in the car also down the road if I have the money. Thanks again ,Bruce
