Can someone recommend a good gear reduction starter for my 305, I'm tired of the stock ones over heating? Is a 96'/98' vortec Chevy 350 a good one?

I run a late model mini starter, that year range sounds about right

$79.00 too $379.00, I dropped $220.00 and never looked back. It's been 5 years now.

Had the same issue after my sbc swap, went to a powermaster and haven't had any issue since.

I've run a stock GM starter from a 96' Vortec for 8 years now, never had a problem
