I got to jump in on prices.. You're FULL OF IT!!!!
Last Chevy starter I bought (to fit mid 70's SBC) was $85
Last ford starter I bought (1979 Bronco w/351 M) $19.99
Both were short warranty.. I think 2 year..
I'm not a Ford man, nor a Chevy man, but I drive one of each these days.. The Chevy is newer, Ford is older.. I have YET to find something cheaper on the Chevy than my Ford..
Buy a few of Chevy's $119 fuel filters for the early '00's 4 cylinder S-10's.. Or the starters.. Or the $100+ wheel bearings (that RARELY LAST 50k miles) and tell me Chevy parts are cheaper..
Or rebuild a 4.3 V-6 once (which is a 350 with 2 cylinders lopped off).. Done a few of them now.. Last one was 5 years ago or so, $1300 for the machining, and a o'haul kit. I didn't have $700 into the 351M I did, and the Ford needed ALOT more machine shop work than the Chevy did.
Oh, and buy a 1997 Plymouth/Dodge Neon and you'll buy starters from a junkyard.. Back when my ex had hers (it was about 8 years old then) the cheapest I could find one back then was well over $200.. Junkyard.. $25.. And she got 4 more years out of that $25 starter.
Another point.. When I had my 01 s-10, replaced the starter TWICE.. $190 bucks at Murray's (now O'Reilly). I WILL BUY JUNKYARD STARTERS BEFORE I BUY ONE FROM THAT DUMP THEY CALL A PART STORE. At least when you buy junkyard stuff, it's cheap and you EXPECT IT TO BE JUNK.. Also, ever notice how them big chain stores tell you the starter, alt, and just about every other electrical part they check is bad, until it comes to warranty replacement.. I fought that fight with this starter.. Yep, "tested good", but the bendix wouldn't spin out to engage in the flywheel..

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
