That sounds like a Chevy starter that needs a shim! LOL
FYI,starter motors for slant six,318's and 360's are also the same as 440.
Did any of the Aussie mopars come with those engines? If so ask your local parts jobber for one .
Just an example 1981 Chrysler Valiant,maybe??
Hope this helps
Well, yes and no. With the exception of the Hemi 4 speed and some HD slant sixes, yes, they can bolt up.
There are some differences in the torque of the starters, with the higher torque versions being slightly longer in the magnet section. Most likely any over the counter pieces are the same these days. That wasn't like that some years ago.
Someplace, I had a website that explained the differences, but I can't find the bookmark right now .
See this thread, especially this post, for a $20 solution. @3175375 and @71Polara383 get the credit for the part, @stubs300 too for another solution.
Rebuild your own
Chrysler Starter disassembly and refresh.
I like the factory starter, they work great and the sound is what a mopar should be.
if your car is hard to start with the stock starter then fix your tune up.

Agree.
We started going through starters around 70k miles on our 68 Charger.
Took the car to the local guru at the 76 station. He put one hand on top off the fender and set the timing by feel. That starter lasted till we sold car w/115k on the clock.

Actually the starter was called the Hammtramck Hummingbird.

I never buy a rebuilt starter, generator, or alternator. I have been lucky to have a reputable rebuilder locally. The best thing is that if it worked good before it will again because you know it fits properly. Cost is cheaper and reliability is guaranteed.

For what is a starter, but to start a car. Could do a whole parody poem...Big starters suck. Get a mini you wont regret it. Sure it's not correct but Leaburn is correct. A 50 year old car that starts on half a revolution and roars to life is more impressive to me then hearing the sound of an original starter.
I've had people walk up to me in the past and say "gosh I love the sound of the chrysler starters!"
As long as it doesnt just go click click click, I dont care how it sounds. I care about how fast it starts the engine.

Just get one from a late 90's Magnum powered pickup with a 360. I got one from a 96 3.9 v-6 for my 66 small block.
