It will cold start the big block pretty good but might not when hot. That is operating temp like normal, shutting it down and restarting 5 minutes or so later. It might tend to grunt a bit. The small block starters used to have 2 fields and 2 shunts whereas the big block starters had 4 fields, stronger. A local starter/alternator repair shop used to beef up our small blocks starters this way. Always worked great.
