Let me know cause its calling for 2 differnt ones. I bought the 93-94 one assuming that would be closer matched.

 

i didnt deal with goin thru gettin an lt1 starter, i bought out of Jegs the Jegs Prostartr' starter for $155 and it was cheaper then the t1 starter from work which was 169.99. but the one i was lookin at was for a 96 camaro lt1.

 

Ok here is the LT1 Starter and the mouth faces the other way! How is this supposed to fit? This is the 93-94 Model.

 

That view shows the bottom of the starter. The solenoid is on the bottom, the short bolt hole is to the outside of the block, the long bolt hole is toward the oil pan. Hope that helps, good luck.

 

The side that you can see is the mounting surface, so that would directly bolt to the engine, but the mouth doesnt face the flywheel.

 

Sicne you guys are on the topic of starters, I'll share my experiences with "mini" starters.

I've got a 80 chevy pickup with a 468 big block in it with headers. I had a severe hot start problem with the stock high torque starters, and went to the remote solinoid kit that is supposed to cure this problem. The remote solinoid did nothing to cure the hot start problem, but I do like the idea of my battery cable to the starter not being hot (having power to the starter) all the time. The only time it has power is when you start the engine.

Anyway I tried a hitachi style mini starter from jegs for $199. It wasn't affected by engine heat, but just barely started the engine at all. I called jegs and they sent me out two other indentical starters and they both did the same thing. So I started doing some checking with local starter shops and found out that the hitachi style mini starter is prone to doing this. They told me to get a "nippondenso style" starter.

Well to make a long story short, I called jegs and got a pn#555-10001 which costs $147. ($52 less that the other one I bought from them) I installed it about 2 months ago and it works like a charm. Spins the motor over easily.

So, if you are going for an after market starter, get the nippondenso style and not the hitachi type. I've linked to pics at jegs. The top one is the nippondenso, the bottom is the hitachi.

I just ordered my hooker 2055's from jet-hot, and if I have any problems with my stock starter, I'm getting another of the nippondenso style starters for it.

 

yea i got the first starter in that pic

 

Got this one off of eBay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2405075509

 

Try an LT4 starter? It doesn't have the nose covering. It bolts up just fine to a third gen and is relatively cheap. It also has more torque than the LT1 from what I understand.

 

I heard that the starters the use on the 4.3's are small and have more torque than the big ones for the 350s? can anyone fill me in on whether this is true or not? thanks

 

I tried that. The 4.3 starter has the staggered bolt patern. Ours needs to be straight across.
