N00bie question - I'm looking to get rid of my heat-soaking starter problem, and I've heard that the LT1 mini-starter will fix it. So, will the LT1 mini-starter bolt up directly on a automatic 350TPI L98? And if so, which LT1 starter should I use ('94, '95, '96)?
Also, I did some searching on this forum and I noticed some postings about a CVR mini-starter. Again I have the same questions: does it bolt up directly and how much is one?
Any 93-95LT1 starter should work. I don't think they're cheap though.. I'll be getting one in the next few months and will let you know if you haven't gotten one already.
Yeah, I noticed that. I called up a couple local stores and the average price is about $160. I guess it's worth it though ... no more sitting around in the parking lot waiting for the solenoid to cool off.
I love those starters. Got one on my ZZ4 and it works fantastic!
ZZ4's use the later style Vortec engine block which is highly similar to an LT1 (save for the reverse flow coolant passages). I'm certain it should fit.
Looks like I'm going to go that route anyways. I'm getting a used high torque mini-starter for a SBC for $80. Hopefully, this will work out ... and for half the price.
