My CVR gear reduction starter on my K/C Pond 482" side-oiler just failed. I replaced it with RobbMC Performance's unit. The quality/design/machining is outstanding and it spins the engine MUCH faster that the last reduction starter. It's made in the good ol' USA too! It seems to be the starter of choice on FORDFE.com also. It's a bit more expensive ($280) but to me is well worth it.
