I think mine are two bolt , if I remember right...I changed one not too long ago...But still, I'd be real careful and compare..I *think* even among the 300's , they had two types of starters. One for automatics, and one for standards.
Or I think anyway...The flywheels may be different also.
If the two look totally identical, including solenoids, etc, there is a good chance they would work...But really, I have no idea... MK

They are fairly cheap. I just spent about 35-40 bucks for a lifetime starter...I think they sold rebuilts for a little over 20 bucks...MK
