starter options for my D24

Hello lady's and gentlemen,

got a question about starter  options to avoid bell housing and fly wheel swap.. Have a d19 motor and trans that I picked up locally that have been recently rebuilt came out of a D19 with a starter with manual starter clutch assembly.. My D24 starter has the drive spring and screw assembly and push button on the dash... Are  there any starters out there that will work on the D19 set up for with my dash push button start

just use your D24 starter.  

You could also use the starter found on Chryslers which have a solenoid  mounted on top but this can interfere with the gearshift levers.

The only starter complications I have run into are the 33-4 Plymouth. Some 218/230 swaps and the mixing of earlier parts with 57 to 59 bell housings.

 thanks dpollo for the quick  response.; I really appreciate it ....I can use the d24 but I will have to swap bell housings around because that starter is a little to long and gets in the way of the oil lines..  That d24 bell housing moves the starter down and to the right out of the way of the oil lines.... I am just looking for some what of an easy fix.. didn't really want to start messing with the trans if I didn't have to

The Chrysler (sometimes Desoto)  solenoid controlled starter will do the job as it is shorter.

Your biggest challenge will be to find one.  Bell housings are not that hard to change.  You can leave your D24's housing in the car if you undo the fluid drive from the crankshaft  Mark its position at TDC first as the bolts are unevenly spaced.

'Mailli',

    Niel has got it right - just move your oil lines.

    As along as your D-19 replacement engine package (was a "Fluid-Drive" unit, AND the engine) has an 8-bolt crankshaft, you're all set. Just use ALL of your D-24 stuff - bell housing, fluid coupling, transmission and starter!

Like I said you guys are genius. I looked at this 7 ways to sunday and still couldn't  come up with a solution. I am going to do a little creative tube bending for the drain and  tuck the discharge line behind the starter off the #4 bearing. put a tee in the line for the pressure gauge. thinking this might work

    My Asche Brother's 6-volt '55 Chrysler 300 starter has been great for several years on my 12-volt converted Flathead D-24 Business Coupe.

Chrysler motor turns a bit faster than the Dodge, DeSoto and Plymouth (DeSoto shared the faster motor couple years/applications)  The fast motor is 4900 free speed...the rest are 4300 and couple even slower yet at 3900.   However, keep in mind this speed come at the cost of additional amperage.  The 4900 motor draws 410 amps at load....compared to 335 at load for the 4300..better have the battery reserve and cable up to par for this use...
