- Not to be a wise@ss, but why would you bother? My original Lucas starter lasted 20+ years, the rebuilt one from Moss\LBCCARCO cost under $100, and it spins my high compression 1296 over with gusto. W

- The swap was a physical bolt on. The Isuzu costs $72.99 (Autozone) with a life time warranty. You do have to change some wiring to bypass the original Starter Solenoid Wiring. Moved the original "so
