Correct starter motor for my TC?

My friend who is a Fox-Stang fan offered me this starter for my Turbo Coupe. Mine is shot, it spins but turns the flywheel only every 15-20 times and it's also busted by the previous owner who thought that hitting it with a pipe will fix worn brushes  He said that it's out of a SVO Mustang, do you know it will fit my TC? The number on the front casting is E2BF-11131-AA

The part number is the same on autozone.com for a 87 turbo bird and the 84 svo mustang. The 5.0 starter is a different part number.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

And a couple of times when I had a freid starter, I beat on it to get it to start till payday came around so I could still drive the car till I got a new starter.
