mini starters

anyone know of a gm car that came factory with a mini starter that is compatible with my 1991 RS's flexplate? the car is an automatic if it makes a difference.

Thanks-

Eric

Re: mini starters

Why would you want a mini starter if your fullsize starter works good?

Re: mini starters

does anyone know how many teeth my flexplate should have? it's a stock 700 r4 behind a l03.

Thanks-

Re: mini starters

The LT1 gear reduction starters are a bit smaller than the original direct drive ones. The throw isn't as far as a stock starter, so some apps may have issues, but it should work on your car.
