James,
I hate to contradict Jim as his several hundred
thousand miles compared to my 300 miles on V8's is
hardly any comparison :-) But I'm using the BOP 215
starter in stock configuration on my V8 conversion.
It is however, very very tight to the frame rails,
around 1/2". Obviously this will not be enough
depending on the exact location of your engine. I've
actually had to change it in place. Possible, but not
a fun job at all.
I ran my first autocross this weekend. The V8 was a
blast to drive. It became readily apparent that the
problem was technique and not lack of power. Engine
pulled strong well past 4k. Car experienced severe
body roll, so a 3/4" sway bar is on the way as we
speak. Gotta say, it was the most fun I've ever had
in 2 minutes. I think this autocrossing is rapidly
going to become my new pastime.
Hope everyone is enjoying their V8's.
Glenn
