i recently had my starter tested, and well it's gone. it was the original, and my new engine now has around 13:1 compression. so that's probably what killed it. my battery also went bad. anyway, i'm looking for a new starter that can handle my new motor, plus hopefully one under $200, if that's possible. can anyone recommend a good brand name? thanks,
jesse

JesseThe late model 5.0s use a hi-torque mini starter that might do the job for a reasonable price.

yes it will, it's the same one I run on my Cleve race motor with a pan fill C4. Haven't broke one yet even with 13-1 compression and a roller.

does the starter's gear mesh the same with manual flywheels as with automatic's? I'm asking about my 68 302/4spd.

The aluminum nose is shorter on the stick starter.  ------------------

sig the older stick starter won't interchange, the newer 5.0L stick or auto mini starters are all the same mounting as an older auto trans starter.The nose cone isn't replaceable,and there isn't one that directly fits. BUT... you can always rebalance a late model flywheel to your engine. The 460 starter is the same except for a threaded top hole. a 4.0L V6 starter is a mirror image faces left instead of right, i turned one upside down and welded new mounting lugs to adapt one to my 427... starts great!
