I bought on from Advanced Auto parts for a 96 Ram pickup (I think the 360 and 318 are the same) and it works great in my Challenger 340. I think it was $90 before i used their discount code and it came with a lifetime warranty. If you go to their website you can usually get a code for 15% to 20% off. I order online and go pick it up in the store. It's a much better deal that way. They usually have it waiting for me behind the counter within an hour of ordering.
That's King Weenie to you!

Do yourself a favor and get one from the boneyard, they work just as well if not better than these $100+ units these guys are paying for! I guess they just have more money than sense!
Hate to tell you how many times I see a fellow Mopar guy stuck with a bad starter, only to ask him where he got it?...9 out of 10 times it's "from a junkyard"... starters are only good for a number of cycles, when it's new you can estimate how much life you can expect from it, used="Russian Roulette" what your going to pay for that tow home, would have bought you a new starter

I bought one from mancini's and recently bought a replacement for it at O'reillys. The one I got from O'riellys was off something like a 96 v6 dakota and spins that 383 of mine just like the mancini one and rebuilt was about 60 bucks with exchange. ( i gave them an old low torque factory as a trade in ) Works like a champ and spins my engine over way faster than the old styles do.

I recently purchased one from O'Reilly's for my 426 Hemi w/headers application. I referenced my '98 Dodge Ram SS/T. So far so good. Spins that hemi over rather nicely.. I did shorten the posts though. They were particularly close to the block. There is plenty of threads on the posts, so no worries on the cable installation. It fits perfectly with plenty of clearance with the TTI headers I have.

Starter on the 383 is the same one I put on the 360 that was in it previously. Came from my Dads old junkyard off an '89 van with a 5.9 in it. Replaced the solenoid contacts (cost me about $6 at the time- real Denso contacts from the Toyota dealer I worked at) before I put it on. Been on the car about 6-7 yrs. now.
