Default Mini-starter motor on FE428
I have one of those mini-starter motors with the gears so they whizz quite a lot before turning the engine much. I've got a couple of Odyssey PC545 (they are called Powervamp20 in the UK, but has the same spec).

This can deliver a cranking current of 545 Amps for 5 secs and 454 amps for 10s. Is that enough for an FE with a baby starter motor?

The Odyssey guy suggested i needed two (which suite me ), so I bought 2 of them.

Do folk think I need to wire both in parallel, or will one of them do the job?

I think you will need the batteries in parallel. That looks pretty small for a FE.

I use the Optima 34 = specs at this link Optima Battery Optima Batteries Free Shipping! Best Service! Deep Cycle Batteries Yellow Blue Red Top Optimum

My car has a pretty typical battery for our cars. It has a 428 stroker.
