I believe that one can oversimplify things by suggesting that the higher compression motors, or ones which had ‘ram air’ exhaust manifolds typically had a heavy duty starter - all the others used a regular duty starter.

I believe the differences were internal windings on the starter housing, and a high heat solenoid.

Granted, it does get a smidge more complicated than the way I explained this, but to answer your question;
Yes.
