I used a junk yard $30 starter off of a V6 Dak. Engine was 499 Indy head with 15.9 comp. built at McCandless shop by Kenny L. Never had a problem firing up, spun ove fast. I won't pay $200-$300 for a starter when they do the same job. Even use one wire Toyota alternators, $30. Cheap, maybe, but the good money goes to the pricy stuff.
