Anyone else try the starters from Amazon?
I got one from RareElectrical. Was here in two days with free shipping. So far so good!
Tried putting it in today (with brand new Ford Performance Parts spacer plate) and the starter is too big by about a 1/16”. Bolts line up and thread in, but will not fully seat against the plate.

I’ll file it down and get it to go, but what a PITA.

Just frustrated and venting..... another day lost!

Personally, I'd go with a Motorcraft starter from Rockauto.com and call it a day
