Starter motor relay?

How do i know if i need a relay to switch my starter motor or if it is built in?
The SM has two connections on the back, one for +ve battery and one other.

Edit to change solenoid to relay

How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

it should have a main body and a side bit on the side bit is the sollinoid it will have 2 conections on it one big one for 12V dc straight from the battery and one for the coil of the solinoid the 0v is a frame ground

workshop manual for the engine???

I would have thought that a relay is not required most starters have a relay in the soilinoid but putting one in would not hurt just run a wire to the positve of the battery to one side of the normaly open and the other side to the coil of the starter moter solinoid then run the a1/a2 coil pair for the relay to a starter switch

But id be fairly confident that it is not nessary might be worth phoning a starter moter specialist up and giving them the part number of the moter and play dumm
