Hi all:

I recently just purchased a high torque mini starter from LMR (link: https://lmr.com/item/LRS-11002B/92-95-Mustang-50L-Pmgr-Style-Replacement-Starter). When I tried to remove my current starter, I realized mine has a three-bolt setup as opposed to the starter I bought, which has only two bolts.

Does anyone know if these two starters are interchangeable, meaning I would only mount the two bolts and leave a empty hole on the bell housing?

I have a 1988 2.3 vert.

Thank you!!
