Need S10 starter help ASAP

[thecountrykid]

Hello.
My friend just bought an '87 S10 with the 2.8L well the starter is bad, and I can't find any to get it out of the rig. I have been told I need to take the exhaust manifold off to rplace the starter, another guy said I need to unbolt the motor mounts and and lift the motor. and Ideas ?

Not for sure - on my '90 pickup I was told I had to lift the motor. I was able to squeeze it in, but it was a PITA!! If it is down between the motor & frame you will need to lift one side of the motor.

We got it, went out and bought a manual. We had to drop a cross member (the only thing bolted to it was a brake line
