since i have a 10.5 flywheel and clutch, do i need a 87-93 starter too?

 

Not sure. If anything the teeth might be the determining factor. If you do have to find one then get one of the mini starters on the later model foxes. I know the 93s had them but I dont know the others that had them.

 

hmm its the second time the starter went bad since i had the 10.5 so im just wondering........ and whats a mini starter?

 

I don't understand the question really. I thought the stock FW was 10.5".

I had a starter go bad, but I thought it was my battery. But my starter was real old, and I put headers on the car, so it got heat soaked. Maybe the heat from your headers is baking your starter too. you can get that heat wrap that should do the trick. Or you could drop the $200 and get the Power Master XL gear starter that's guaranteed to not heat soak.

 

A mini start is just smaller than the older ones. You'll notice the difference when you see them side by side.
