If it was me, I'd take the starter in the first picture and bury it in a deep hole. That is the AC Delco starter and they were JUNK in my opinion. They're also a lot heavier than the Mitsubishi starters in the second picture. After I wrecked my old '85 F250 in '08, I pulled the engine, trans and transfer case out of the front end. NEVER AGAIN! to me it's easier to pull all three parts seperatly. Of course I also think that removing the radiator support to pull the engine is just a lot of extra work. I used to be able to R&R a n/a engine in a 9 hour work day and send it out the door in the customer's hands when I did it for a living.
