Will a starter off of a 1989 350 TPI work on a LT1? Thanks.

 

Yes it will, but an LT1 starter is smaller and lighter.

 

Isn't there a mini-starter or something thats smaller, more powerful, and cheaper than the LT1 starter?

 

The LT1 Corvette starter is smaller, lighter, more powerful, and cheaper than the standard F and B body LT1 starter.

 

From Where? GM or local parts store and what year?

 

The LT1 starter is a ministarter.

 

and the Corvette's smaller yet IIRC, it's also a gear reduction starter

 

You should also be able to use a Hitachi ministarter with out any problems. More torque and cheaper than stock.

 

can you put this starter on a 3.1 v6?

 

Ok so, say I go out to pick up the Vette' Starter what year do I tell them ? Im using a 95 LT1

 

I would think anything 92-96. But I would say 95 vette with an LT1.

 

Ok thanks, Im going to pick that up in a little bit, but were fixing to start her up tommorrow in the new home, will the 92' starter work, its only three months old ?

 

I dont know if a starter would work from a 92 camaro, but should from a 92 vette.

 

i am using the 92 camaro starter on my car and works great. no problems

 

Thanks man, just what I needed to hear.

 

andd actually the 305 starter is a gear reduction starter also.

 

What does that mean exactly ?

 

sorry thought you said it was a 305 starte. but a 350 starter will work also

 

For your information:
GM part number: 10455709 Starter--gear reduction, lightweight, new no core, from 92-96 LT1 Corvette

 

gear reduction, what does that mean ?

 

So you're saying that if I need a starter for my run-o-the-mill 350 sbc I should ask for a 95 Vette starter? It will be cheaper and lighter?

 

Run o the mill SBC, No. Those are still dirt cheap everywhere. If you need a replacment for an LT1 starter, then the Vette is cheaper.

Gear reduction means that in the starter, the electric motor spins fast, but the starter drive gear is reduced in speed. The advantage of this is you get the same, or more torque from the starter with a smaller electric motor, giving you a smaller and lighter starter VS a standard one.

 

Ahh I see, are the standard F-body LT1 starters gear reduction ?

 

No, only the corvettes(Y bodies) got the gear reduction, all others, the F, B, and D bodys, have the standard non-gear reduction LT1 starter.

 

I beg to differ Hawk, the starter on my LT1 is a gear reduction mini-starter.

 

Then you've already got the Vette starter on your car.
