Mini starter questions, plastic gears, cranking amps. (86' C30, 454 TH400)

86' C30, 454 TH400, 168T flywheel.

Looking to 'upgrade' the starter on the ranch truck.
Takes forever to start this truck after sitting for over a day I think due to the carb bowl vaporizing dry. Poor battery really gets dragged down from all the cranking.

Read up on mini-starters. Sounds wonderful other than the plastic gears on the cheaper ones (DB Electrical, Ebay units).

Question:
- is the cranking amps less with the mini-starter? (or the same but cranking RPM is higher?)
- does the starter brace still fit? (between the block and front of the starter).
- Which mini-starters use all metal gears? (does the ~$120 new Delco unit have all metal gears?)

Looking for a drop in, no shim, low risk of damaging the ring gear, mini starter.

Thanks
