In think there a FE owners that use numbers close if not identical to that. Maybe Saltshaker can chime in?
Mine is 289 with Tilton starter.
In the 70's I had an acquaintance with a dry sumped SBC in a Gurney Eagle Can Am car. The engine was so low and chassis tight that the starter was remote mounted and run off of a shaft with a u joint in it. Several times it broke the U Joint while attempting to start. Finally we installed a switch on the dash that grounded the primary side of the ignition until it was spinning sufficiently then the switch was flipped creating spark and it would the start.
