Rich I just threw the old starter in with the all thread and didnt even jb welt the back of the broken off threads and shim the broke side with a large washer and bolted it up!!! I did make a 1/4 L bracket for the front of it (from the starter to the block just off the dip stick bolt) so that it would't twist on me and works like a charm....even when it get a little warm from the headers.
Just need to get the timing lowered ...but another day

have a blessed one
thanks for asking

Finally got around to lowering the torsion bars on the Mistress and rolled her outside to get a glimpse of the new ride height. Over the weekend got the 327 fired up and got to hear the gear drive whining. Sounds sweet I will post a video of it running as soon as I figure out how to get it off my phone....lol
