starter interchangeability

Whassup y'all. I am wondering if the starter from a 84 302 w/ AOD would fit in a 84 351 w/ NP 435 4 speed. Appreciate any assistance.

I'm pretty sure the 302 & 351W will swap, but the 300-6 start won't work on a 351w. the bendix is longer on one of them.

go to www.partsamerica.com and look up the different starters to be sure.

The starters are not engine specific, but, transmission specific.
The 300, 302 and 351W all use the same starter, but, there is a different one for an auto and manual. I know you can use one on the other, but, I forget which. Both will bolt up, but one contacts the flywheel or flex plate, been a LONG while since I had anything other than a stick.

OIC. that is way my starter didn't not fit. now I feel like an a-hole. (my 351w had a C6 and 300-6 had a stick).

found it out y'all

Yeah, its a different starter, I imagine due to a possible different tooth count and/or location of the flywheel on the 4 speed. Appreciate it though
