For 1970 440
Appreciate all Starters recommended. I intend to get a starter dodge ram. My only question is would it fit with headers?
Thank You for you patience. I'm new to mopar

Yes it will. They are way smaller than originals.

There is even a smaller starter that works... Ask for one from a 2005-2008 Dodge Ram with a 5.7 and a MANUAL transmission, the automatic starter for this application is totally different and will not fit.

It is a coaxial (planetary) gear reduction design, not offset like the Chrysler and Nippondenso gear reduction starter designs. That's why the motor housing is directly in line with the starter drive axis, thus making the whole starter more "laterally compact".

Be sure and get a genuine starter with a Chrysler, Denso, or Nippondenso nameplate on it. The Chinese copycats flooding the market (advertised at parts stores as "100% new!") are junk. A used genuine starter from a wrecking yard is preferable to a new fake/Chinese or "remanufactured" starter."

Thanks. I might try the 2005-2008 Dodge Ram 5.7 MANUAL transmission starter. I just put on a reman old whiney 3258 and it's iffy (sometimes click no turn). I like the old stuff, but I can't be sitting there clicking either. Haven't decided what to do yet.
