d2_willys Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 IIRC, there were 3 12v starters from 53-64. I believe the 53 had a very course flywheel, where the 54-56 had another version, and 57-64 had the final version. It may or may not work. The two mounting bolts/studs have been rotated over the years, so that might cause problems. If you have the lower bell housing that matches the starter, then you should be able to bolt the housing up and if starter has same gear pitch, then it might work.
