I have been told that a starter off or a 4.6L v8 out of around a 97 f150 will work on a 5.0 fox. Is this true i want to upgrade the starter as i need a new one. I want to possibly get it from the local yard so its not to exspencive.

Nope. The bolt hole patterns aren't the same.

So r there any good replacement starters that i can get at the yard?

well considering there are many MANY different cars that have a 302 in it..... get a mini starter though instead of the huge boulder of a starter. 91 I believe when it started on the fox but you can find some on other cars as well. I got mine off a Lincoln town car.

it was 92. my '91's starter is stock (maybe original) and it is the size of a damn oil drum

correct, 92-93 the mini starter was implemented.

If you go into vato-zone and ask for a OEM starter for a 94-95 mustang, you will be sure to get a "mini" starter, and it will be MUCH cheaper then what this aftermarket company charge.
