cheap starter rebuild .thought id tell you guys

so i came into a dilemma a few months back where i could not find a rebuild kit for my starter,and a new 1 was $200 plus.
i had a old 350 starter from a 90 suburban. i found there exact other then the head part that bolts to the engine..perfect fit .then i realized these starters for a 90 suburban 350 are only 50 buks with a lifetime warranty at autozone

cheap n easy

sorry guys its a 1961 f85 215 v8

NAPA sells all of the rebuild parts, but you are correct: In general, GM starter guts all interchange, so you can usually rob from one to give life to another.
