Re: starter motor
Never heard of this before. I've never heard of a replacement block other than a cast aluminium or billet aluminium block.
Any pics?

Re: starter motor
Looks like an original cast iron block but I can't understand why the second starter bolt hole is not drilled out!! Go ahead and drill and tap away!!
