So my starter took a crap :(
Possible upgrade options?
I was talking to someone who seems to recall putting the BB starters on the SB engines and having the added torque and all that.. like maybe a 440 starter on 360 and 318 engines and what not..
how do you guys feel about this? is it doable? Its gonna need a new starter.. it cant turn the engine anymore
TIA guys

Every mopar starter is the same.
Yes there are minor differences if you are going to be picky, but a slant six starter fits a HEMI. For all kinds of great reasons just buy a late model mini starter. They even sound better when you are starting the car, they are a higher torque starter and they make tons of room for other stuff like headers etc, while keeping far enough away to prevent heat soak.

Look in the yard for a starter with the big stud and the little one (electrical studs that the wires attach to) some of the late models have a different connector. They all bolt in the same way. Tell the guy at the yard what you are looking for they can be very helpful.

IT would appear that they all do come with the two posts (for newer v8) from what ive seen.
I think what I'm going to try and do is go and get one off of a Caravan or Dakota.. Will they work? I mean I know they will fit from what you've said.. but will it turn the engine sufficiently ?

Ladies and gentlemen we have a winner. Yes that is the one. I have used that same starter on, a old 1969 hemi as well as a late model. That will fit your 360. Direct bolt on.
