Rather than waste time with starter motors try a little research in the Piper SB's.

You will find one that recomends the replacment of the old starter motor cables with copper items, the result is spectacular ! The cranking speed will almost double and end all your starting problems.

It would seem that most of your batterys electrickery is lost in the high resistance of the old aliminium cables.
