As far as starters go- keep in mind that mechanical injection does not have squirters like a carb. When cranking the engine, if you try to 'pump the gas' to help it-it just gulps air and no fuel. It can be done by cranking & holding throttle open to get enough fuel, but that is tricky if inexperienced to not get a big rev immediately. Can also crank with throttle open and switch off for a few seconds, than turn switch on-again can be tricky. if it's cold, very easy to flood it and hydraulic the engine or break the starter. Not always as simple & easy as just adding an on board battery & starting mechanism.

This is indeed a big factor, I've found that by using 2, 12 volt batteries, and hitting the starter with 24v, a start may be accomplished, but don't bet on it, as I said before, with the amount of lead in the advance, you can just as easily detonate an engine, the speed necessary to safely make an engine light off, cannot be done with a starter, it sometimes isn't possible by a push start, if the pusher doesn't get his/her foot in it right away, you could hydraulic the engine, and break it before you get off the push truck, again, JMHO!

when we ran midgets we had a quad 4 with a starter.we warmed the engine up, shut it off, put it in gear, pushed the button and it started easily and drove away.i think a crate motor is your answer but I m no expert.we ran midgets at morris ill and they started a sprint class.we ran 2 midgets and the sprint every night.crowds love the v8 sprints and parts are cheap.go for it and keep us posted .good luck

I've been on Alky-diggers looking around too. How do they start them tractor pulling things with injection?

Ok, I've got another question, lets say I drop the whole trans/starter deal, I know that'll make a bunch of folks super happy, how do you guys start the car in the shop to like adjust valves and what not? I mean I guess if you have a bunch of acreage you could push it off in the yard, but...
