Shop around your local parts stores. Ask for a starter for a later model truck W/ a V8. I used one from a 91 B250 van W/ a 318 in Gina's car.

I have used the Mopar mini-starter on my 440 powered Polara for years. For ease of installation, I would test-fit the starter because you might have to modify the wiring lugs for block clearance and then I would pre-wire the starter and slide it into place with the two starter bolts the last part of the install. You will be impressed in how fast it will spin even a high compression big block!

Get rid of the plastic electrical adapter that they have on them.

I bought mine from the local parts store last year for $116.00 with a lifetime warranty. Even if ebay was a little cheaper, the fact that if something happened to it, you will have another one in an hour is hard to beat.....
