<DIV>I hate to use his name without his permission, but Mike Darr has a starter setup that would easily crank over a flat head V8 engine. I think it is a combination of having any quality starter, and the way he has his batteries wired. I wish I had particulars, but I don't. He is a great guy and I am pretty sure he would be willing to share his secret. He monitors the list so maybe he can chime in. He offered me the schematic once, but I declined as I didn't see the need to crank an Allison aircraft engine at the time.</DIV>
