Mini starter questions...
I ahve an L98 with longtube headers and I starting to experience heat soak problems with my starter.
Is there a later model, smaller starter out there will work for me? Or do I have to get a mini starter from an aftermarket vendor?

I would find a starter/alternator rebuild shop in your area and have them rebuild yours. It’ll probably be better than any starter you’ll find at the discount shops.
On a side note, how strict is the safety inspection in UT. I’m thinking about moving there and im not looking forward to the safety/emissions BS.

UT is a drag for safety/IM. Its' also a drag if you're not an active member of the LDS church.
S my 1991 allready has the small stater (!). Holy crap, that thing is huge.
I guess I'll look inot a mini starter from Summit or something. Thanks guys!
