SBF Protorque Starter 3.1 HP 3/8in Offset

The SBF Protorque Starter 3.1 HP 3/8in Offset from CVR Performance is a high-torque engine starter designed for small-block Ford applications. It is particularly beneficial for performance builders, race teams, and enthusiasts who require reliable ignition and cold-start performance. This starter is engineered to provide consistent startup characteristics, especially in demanding environments.

With a peak horsepower rating of 3.1 HP, the offset design allows for efficient torque multiplication, making it suitable for high-compression small-block Ford engines. The Protorque design minimizes cranking drag and maximizes efficiency through optimized armature geometry and precision-wound field coils. This reduces the parasitic load on the battery while enhancing engine turnover.

Ideal for 289, 302, 347, 351W, and 408 small-block Ford engines, this starter excels in street performance, racing, and restoration applications. Its 3/8-inch offset configuration positions the starter motor lower and rearward, providing essential clearance for headers and custom components. This ensures compatibility with various builds, including street rods and race cars.
