3.8 starter work on 5.0?

[TheRipper]

I searched but might not of put the correct thing in the search.I just want to double check and maybe someone will know the answer here.I have a old 3.8 out in the back 40 with a good starter but I was wanting to make sure it will work on a 86' 302?If you seen the weeds around the car being about 4 feet tall you would understand why I am asking rather than just crawling under there and pulling it out...Thx for any info...Forgot the 3.8 is a 86' also.And both are auto car's if that matter's.

86 fox 3.8 starter is the same as 86 fox 5.0L If it's in a different car it could be different, but they are probably the same.

I used one from a 99 V-6 on my car and it worked. Not sure if the torque is the same between a v-6 starter and V-8 one though.
