If you're looking to enhance the starting power of your classic Ford, the Ford Racing M-11000-MT164 High-Torque Starter is a perfect upgrade. This mini starter packs a punch with its high-output motor and internal gear reduction, delivering significantly more cranking power than your stock unit while being 30% smaller. Weighing in at 5 lbs less than the original equipment (OE) starters, this compact design not only reduces weight but also provides improved header clearance, making it ideal for high-compression engines and tight-fitting headers.
When installing this starter, you'll need to use a firewall solenoid. The package comes with clear instructions and the necessary special battery cables to ensure a smooth installation process.
This starter is compatible with a wide range of Ford vehicles, including:
Ford Mustang owners have reported excellent results with this starter. One user noted, "Installed this on my 2015 Mustang GT, and it cranks like a champ! The smaller size gave me the clearance I needed with my aftermarket headers, and the weight reduction is a nice bonus." Another F-150 owner shared, "This starter made a noticeable difference in my truck's starting performance, especially in cold weather."
