Maybe, maybe not. We don't know what kind of block you are using. If you are using a seasoned iron block I've found that the OEM full size starters work pretty darn good, and offer the best value. I pulled my expensive Powermaster that ate a few flywheel teeth due to improper installation by a previous "professional" and replaced it with the OEM starter I got from the parts store down the street. Works great. Some have found that the newer aluminum blocks won't mate up well with the OEM starters.
