Clarification Request

Need more info. What does it sound like when you turn the key? When you put in a new starter, does it sound normal when you crank it? Does it sound grindy or crunchy? 302 and 351w use same flywheel, so it isn't likely there's a mix up. What happens to the starter that makes you replace it? Is it a mechanical problem with the drive (bendix) or are they burning out electrically? Try not to leave out any details and your question will be answered faster.

sounds like you need a heavier duty starter. Talk to a starter re builder and tell him the problem and he will probably come up with a heavier starter that will do the job.
