Meziere TST400 True Start Starter Motor – Chevy V8 (139 Tooth Only) – 400 Series High Performance

The Ultimate Starting Solution for Extreme Chevy V8s

If you are running a high-compression or large-cubic-inch engine, you know the frustration of starter failure. The Meziere TST400 True Start Starter Motor is purpose-built to eliminate those “no-start” scenarios at the track.

Part of the renowned 400 Series, this motor provides 20% more power than any Hitachi-based equivalent, making it the ideal choice for engines up to and exceeding 700 cubic inches.

Critical Fitment Note: 139-Tooth Only

Important: This starter is specifically designed for use with 139-tooth ring gears and features a 10-pitch pinion profile. It is not compatible with standard 153 or 168-tooth ring gears. Using this starter with the incorrect ring gear will cause immediate damage to both the starter and the flexplate.

Advanced Design & Versatility

The TST400 features a revolutionary nose-less design that provides exceptional gear support while remaining compact. The 360-degree clocking (adjustable in 10-degree increments) ensures that you can find the perfect orientation to clear even the most restrictive kick-out style oil pans or complex header configurations.

Tested to the Extreme

Meziere doesn’t just build starters; they test them. Every unit undergoes rigorous performance checks, including amp draw, rotational speed under load, and free-rev testing to ensure internal balance. This ensures that every “True Start” motor delivered is ready for trouble-free operation in professional racing environments.
