Y Block Starter

I tried searching for this and came up with nothing so sorry if this has already been covered.

I want to get rid of the bendix drive on the starter and go to a conventional gear drives starter.

Has any one done this and what bits did you use ?

I assume you need the housing from a FE and what about the actual drive.


Thanks in Advance.

I have seen the high torque starters but want to use a Ford starter for appearance reasons.
