Re: using factory starter on ls swap
FYI the GTO starter is manufactured by Mitsubishi and has the pull-in solenoid clocked differently than the F-body or truck starters. This different clocking puts the solenoid protruding more sideways from the engine and can complicate some brands of LT headers if they are in the plan. As JMD stated the GTO bellhousing is the only one that works with this starter as that different solenoid clocking has the starter sitting up closer to the block and interferes with F-body and truck bells.

Fbody starter, Fbody T56 bellhousing, LS7 clutch, Kooks headers. One of the few things I didn't have issues with
