And it sounds weird. Like a cross between a Ford truck and a Honda starter. But boy does it start. And it spins faster, with less battery drain. It also weighs half as much since it's a PMGR. I'll post a video of it starting sometime so you all can hear the oddity of it. It doesn't fit with the car to my ear because I've heard that classic Ford sound for so long.
Install took me maybe 40 minutes taking my sweet time, routing the starter wires all prettily.
There's a writeup FordMuscle did that's better than anything I could do, so !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!
Also, my auto trans is leaking fluid like a sieve. A 5 speed is in order, just have to find one I can rebuild after I get a workbench put together.

I love geared starters. I've got one for my Spitfire 6 project, and the 6-cylinder hi-torque starter weighs just a little bit less than the standard 4-cylinder one.

I will post a video of it cranking. It is an unusual sound to hear from vintage iron.

Yes, and the positive engagement is nicer on flywheel teeth. It also clears my headers by significantly more than the old one, meaning less heat soak.

I can't even imagine that.
