Thanks Bud.  I just had the ZF out for safety wiring and the flywheel ring gear looked fine.  The starter also had no problems before I pulled the ZF.  I'll look at the DB starters as I also don't think I need more than a stock starter for my motor. Thanks, Mike

Mike,In my opinion a high torque starter should not be necessary.....In the past a rebuilt starter exchange at the auto parts stores were cheap. You can now order a DB starter for the $60. range. I have one on my car now. You may want to install longer mounting studs in bell housing due to DB mounting flange is thicker then the OEM Bud #3400 ( Drive it like there is no tomorrow -- for there may not be ! )

  Hi all.  My stock starter is working but makes some noise on
  engagement.  I pulled it and and noticed some amillinga wear on the
  starter teeth (milling as described in the Panteras manual).  I
  researched the forum archives and see some folks going to the vendors
  for a starter and other hitting other sources.  I see starters on
  vendor sites hitting up to $380 and then some 164 teeth Ford 351 manual
  transmission starters on ebay for around $100 (including hi torque).
  Any advise on these?  Seems I should be able to hit Napa or other local
  shops for a stock replacement.  I do like supporting the vendors but
  not sure on the price difference and value.  My motor is bone stock and
  the stock starter had worked fine for 40 years : )  Thanks, Mike
