Consider buying an off the shelf starter from Autozone. Pick one from a 5.0 Mustang with a manual transmission. You are getting a high torque starter, in a small package. The advantage to that is that if it dies, you take it back for a new one.
That's what I'm using, and it works just fine. It didn't cost $200 either.

it has been spinning the 13.5 to 1 compression 331 stroker in my race car since 2004!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
be sure to ask for one for a standard transmission, there is a difference in the one for an automatic and a standard, it's the nose length......
