Its a mid grade Duralast, DL3299S starter. Its a reman, about 140 bucks. That model stater fits a whole bunch of ford applications, like V8s and V10s, expeditions and F series trucks ect. I think I sourced it using a 2003 Ford F250 with the 6.8 10 cylinder gas.

Honestly though, the adapter plate im using has a lot of space for a different starter if I want to drill some holes. I was interested in the DLG3201S, which is the starter for the 2003 7.3 powerstroke in the same truck, with a different bolt pattern, which im sure would have no problem turning over the 616. The DL3299S should probably be fine though, but I do have long term options
