Overview

The Ford Racing M-11000-B51 is a high-torque mini starter designed for most 289/302/351W/351C engines. It features a small diameter for enhanced header clearance and weighs approximately 5 lbs. less than pre-1989 production starters. This starter delivers more cranking power and is ideal for performance enthusiasts.

It fits engines with a 157-tooth manual transmission flywheel or a 157-tooth and 164-tooth automatic transmission flexplate. The starter comes with special battery cables and instructions, and requires a diode-protected fenderwell solenoid.

Part #: M-11000-B51

These mini high-torque starters from Ford Racing are a great addition to your car. They feature a high-output motor with internal gear reduction that provides more cranking power than stock, yet is 30 percent smaller. Their smaller size brings the weight down 5 lbs. from OE starters and provides a great deal more header clearance. These are the perfect starters for vehicles with high-compression engines and tight-fitting headers. Instructions and special battery cables are included, but you must use a firewall solenoid.
