Will a v8 starter work on a 3 banger?

 

my bad, meant to ask, will v8 starter work on a 2.3?

 

anyone? ok, let me say, I realize that the obvious difference is the 2 bolt hole that the v8 starter has verses the 3 on the 2.3. and the different possibilities of flywheel teeth counts....BEYOND that, my question is....arent they essentially the same?. Isnt the v8 starter a higher torque starter? Do they receive power and apply to the bendix in the same way?
I have a high compression 2.3 (dirt track application), and I chew through 3 to 5 remans a season...its getting old. 2 0r 3 thousand people lookin, nobody chimin in?
Thanx in advance for your help.
