Don M: I can answer some of your questions.

1) Starter: Hall Pantera and most of the other parts houses/Pantera

Dealers offer a Mega Torque starter.

2) Hall has I think a 1500 amp hour super battery- if the engine fails

you can just run off the battery- just kidding! In the old days when I

was a Ford buyer I owned BOSS 302's and bought 450 amp hour batteries

for the BOSS--MY Ford co-workers used to joke about that--if the engine

fails just run it off the battery!





Try Pantera East in Miami- they should have all the items above and all

the info -- they have helped me in the past and their prices are

competitive and they're right in your home state.
