The mini starter used on late 80s and up vans/trucks works great. Any 3.9V6 or V8 starter will work. Wrecking yard is a good source, or rebuilds from parts store.

Yep. All V8s (BB and SB), 3.9L V6 and Slant starters will interchange.

The mini starters I mentioned are pretty much all the same (minor heatshield diffs) and are light and reliable. As with any unit, watch quality if you get a rebuild. I have bought mine new from MP sources and have had no problems. They are better than the factory starters in every way, except the cute noise...

These are either $129.95 or 139.95 from summit racing equipment.
A rebuilt one fom the parts store really isn't much if any bit cheaper.
They weigh a mere 7 pounds vs. the weight of about a 16 or 17 pound
starter if Im not mistaken. I weighed my stock starter and that's about
what I came up with. Thanks again Lou.

I havd been using the re-man ones from checker(big wheel rossi at the time) and they were $35, but they only lasted an average of six months when it was a daily driver.
