FC starter on FB?
I've got an '83 GSL, and it's very difficult to start when warm. I was doing a little research and it seems like an FC starter should fit (my 83 has the same 225mm flywheel as a NA FC 13B). I happen to have a spare FC starter motor. Would swapping the FC starter onto my FB be able to crank it over a little faster, aiding in hot starts? I'm not trying to put money into the drivetrain considering i plan on a swap this winter.

the starter will fit. my brother had an FC starter in his FB a while back. for your issues i doubt it will make any difference though.
have you checked the compression on the engine? even if you have no plans to fix it, it would be best if you found the source of the problem because maybe it is something you're willing/able to fix.

Get my 12a rebuilt and do blow-thru, or run S5 turbo setup. (Have housings redone by Goopy Performance?)
