Or just paint at the joining surfaces of starter and engine back plate.

Or another common missing piece is the engine ground strap.

Thomas,
Unless you have a very high compression (modified) engine there should be no
need at all for a stronger starter motor. The same motor can crank an E-type
Jaguar.
If it cranks to slow something is amiss (brushes, contacts, solenoid, battery
terminals etc.).
The gear reduction starter motors are in fact much better as they consume a
lot less current and thus can save the battery in the long run.
