I didn't want to continue hi-jacking the kiggly flexplate install thread.
Car is '91 AWD auto, nothing swapped(trans), mods in sig.
My car has a grinding issue, but only when starting the car, once it is running there are no problems.
I warrantied the starter and still the same issue, so I thought maybe a broken flexplate, but it is in perfect shape.
I am 100% stumped why I'm having this issue.
Since the trans is out, I'm installing a kiggly flexplate I am just waiting for my ARP hardware to show up.
The starter plate appears to be the correct one by referencing pics posted by JNZ tuning's starter plate page.

I have the center plate (which per JNZ is for a 1G auto):
I have called parts stores and searched trying to see if there is a different starter, but it appears the only oddball starter is for a 2G auto trans all the other cars use the same.
Any help is much appreciated.

Anyone?
I have ARPs on the way to install my Kiggly flexplate.
So i keep forgetting to check the logs, however the car is back together with the kiggly flexplate and ARP crank bolts.
Still have the same issue, voltage does drop to 9V (checked via multimeter on battery during cranking),
starter checked out to be ok, however so did the battery.
I have a small AGM battery rated to 220CCA in the car, its been fine before but I did kill it this winter.
Now I've been charging it tested ok at 2 diff places on 2 diff types of testers.
Last tester this am, (interstate battery tester) showed the battery having 12.48V and 338CCA.
When I get off work, I will try it with a battery out of my ford ranger which is in the 600-700CCA region IIRC.
I'm 100% baffled by this issue, some of you mentioned adding a ground maybe if the new battery tries that.

Tried a newer even more powerful battery, 2 months old rated at 700CCA, 825CA@32F.
no change.
I'm ridiculously baffled by this, any help is much appreciated.

So a friend mentioned that I've been having these issues since I swapped this motor in the car.
It's a used motor out of a local kids 5 spd car, but what could be on it that would cause these issues?
Dowel pins? crank bushing? Guys I'm 100% clueless on what to do here and I've already R&R'd the transmission once this week to try and solve the issue to no avail.
I'm honestly stumped.
