Joe’s AP MK1 Gt40 build
- Thread starter Buttinz
- Start date
First startup attempt failed. Starter is not strong enough to spin my motor its struggling. I should of known when i first saw it but figured if they supply it,should work.Company is closed till mon for me to ask what there supplied starter is for smh. Any chance does anyone know how to cross reference a starter? Pic is what they supplied I need to cross reference that to a high torque starter so i can order one today.
The kennedy engineering kit use a weird starter with the billet plate, its drilled specifically for what they supply. I dont know what car/truck its for.
Joe, here’s what I came up with. There are a couple numbers in the rock auto post that cross to yours. Look under AC Delco.

Hi Joe. I had the same problem with the starter Kennedy (KEP) supplied. It wont turn my engine. I talked to Brett from KEP about this. The starter they use at least for my combo ( BBC to 997.1) was from a Toyota Hilux with 22R engine. KEP was not able to provide me a much stronger starter. I looked and I found a starter made by Mean Green. Its for a 1984-1993 4 runner 2.5 KW gear reduction starter. A perfect fit for mine. It started my engine with no problem. Hope this helps. Good luck.
That Delco reman is just 1 KW motor. If you can find one for a diesel with the same flange you're in business.
Believe it or not, I've had a $50 ebay chinese gear reduction starter on my 427 in the cobra for 12 years and it spins that thing 300 RPM. I think all of those chinese starters use the same motor and gear train but just a different snout and maybe pinion. If they make one for the toyota that looks the same it may be worth throwing $50 at it.
Any reman is going to be the same pissy little 1KW motor, but a new aftermarket will more likely have the same generic 2.5KW motor.
I also have the same cheap ass ebay starter on the 383 in my old vette, and it beats the hell out of the 500 lb lug that Chevy provided in 1971.

Looks like the same flange but with a 1.4KW motor. So far I've seen 3 different toyota starter flanges. Seems odd Toyota would use a AC Delco starter.
If you have a friend with a mill, you could easily make a new face for that Powermaster listed above. Looks like an aluminum flange that's application specific bolts on with 2 bolts.
I'm still waiting on a transaxle to see what sort of monkey buisness I'll be into for this. I think ours uses a Porsche Starter, just to peel an extra benny or two out of the wallet.
I called him but He’s not sure On hi torque cross reference.
Spoke to powermasters today, that starter will not work nir do they sell one that will smh. After talking to the guy he said my starter is more than enough to turn my motor so that got me thinking. I came home checked everything and am thinking i got a bad starter.. i have 12.84v at battery terminal on starter and 7.2v on the Solenoid ignition wire when crank. if i disconnect ign wire from starter and turn key to start i have 12.84 at same wire. Thoughts? Im thinking starter
do you have the engine block grounded well? I use a 4 gauge battery cable from the battery to the frame and from that same point on the frame 4 gauge to the starter bolt that holds the starter to the bell housing.

Connect both +/- cables directly from the battery to the starter (- goes to the starter mounting bolt) then jumper from the positive to the solenoid energizer pole on the starter. If your battery is fully charged, that engine should spin over just fine. If not, then I suspect you have a problem with the starter itself….
Yes all grounds are good. Head,block,trans all have there own 4g ground. I’m going to try grounding starter bolt aswell.

Is your starter going right through the ring gear and hitting something on the other side, causing it to drag with the friction?

Can you put a socket on the crank nut and turn the motor overly with a standard 1/2" drive. IF so Starter issue if not I agree with Ian start looking for interference issues with bolts, pull plugs and check the rotation by hand as well.
