I have never used anything on my FE's but stock Ford starters. I use to drag race 1967 427 Cobras, 1964 Fairlane 427 Thunderbolts, 1967 427 R Code Fairlanes and most of them were running 14:1 compression. Just make sure that you have oversize wires running to your starter, battery and grounds. I also installed at a minimun two grounds from the engine to the body.

At home now, I have a 1967 Fairlane GTA with a 428 CJ and a 1967 Fairlane 427 R Code and both of these have standard Ford Starters and they work great, even when hot.

That my 3 cents worth...

I put a stock rebuilt starter on a FE in 1985 and its still going strong, never a problem.
