Best Starter??
Okay, I'm getting ready to buy a starter for Big Blue (name was on the windshield when I bought it), and the Bronc I just picked up yesterday. I just want to try the bronc motor, so 1 starter will do both...
Anyway, they both are 351-w (yes I'm sure) 4-spds, what's the best starter and the best place to get it (regular or High Torque mini)?
I found these High Torque Mini's from JBG, but first, what's the difference (other than part #), and second they look chinease made, so anybody use them/ are they any good?
Manual Trans Mini Starter, SALE!!!

These 2 factory style Reman's from Advance Auto parts
Buy Driveworks Remanufactured Starter 3154 at Advance Auto Parts
Buy Worldwide Starter P3154 at Advance Auto Parts
There's other's out there, but It's late, and I'm tired...
This is probably more for the motor forum? but it seemed kinda dead so I figured I'd post it here?

I have seen those chinese reduction starters not keep constant gear mesh depth with the ring gear. Wipes out a few teeth on the ring. Honestly, your best bet is to find a rebuild shop to put in all new quality internals in yours. Most shops that do truck and tractor starters can take care of yours. Sometimes you can have them put a better armature more windings for more torque. The main design of the ford starter is lacking since it uses one of the case/pole magnets to pull down the shoe to engage the bendix. This robs some of the magnetic field from that magnet as the armature passes it.
