Installed, it works well. *** THANKS TO ALL FOR ADVICE ***

A few tips:
- the top hole on new starter needs to be drilled out larger, at least in my case
- I had to lift the engine 1/2 inch to get the old starter out, it was huge. 
Headers caused the clearence problem actually.
- New started went in easy, it is much smaller
Total time with the extra headache of jacking the engine up was 3.5 hrs
Worth ever penny of the $50...

  Hello Bruce, thanks for the info.I would certainly appreciate if you could let me know how it turned out. There is no mad rush to get it now,but I would like to get it shipped to Phoenix in october while I'm there and take it back with me.(to the frozen wasteland north of the 49th)
  Many thanks Josef.

I spoke with Randy who is familiar with Panteras. We use their 3223, it is
for a manual transmission. I got a better price talking with Randy than on
their eBay site.
