After blowing through starters we found 2.8 has a metric flywheel, starters standard. 2:3 won't mesh. Need non Mitsubishi flywheel (as that's who manufactured the mtr? I am told) or a metric spline starter. Just an fyi

Just ordered a new motor, couple cylinders spider cracked in this one. Going to change out flywheel then. Yeah, I had a 70 Cuda and 2 70 Challengers. You could do about anything with them! This is us fixing grandpa's, my husband's, posterity present last year to 14 yr old granddaughter, who's turning 15 now .Hey Robin, welcome to TRS.
That's a tough deal man, I don't remember the Fords so much but the old Chevy's seemed the same starter fit the 327 V8, the 283, the 235-6 and the 230, not sure how many more. How times have changed![]()

We will check that out definately! Thank you!I had problems with the starter on a Bronco II with a 2.8L and 5-speed manual. Ended up fixing the problem by swapping to a starter from a 1996 Ford Ranger 4.0L with an automatic transmission (has to be a starter for an automatic).
You also have to we wire the starter wiring since the relay is on the 4.0L starter.
