ANY HELP WILL BE GREATLY APPRRECIATED, THANKS IN ADVANCE . LANE

 

I think the flexplate/flywheel is different on an Lt1

*think*


So thus the starter probably wont work.


I could be wrong, someone whos played with the newer toys might be able to follow up

 

Yep it works. Im running a 94 LT1 starter on my 92 L98, no shims no nothing. Direct bolt on. Its a better starter too. Its way smaller than the O.E. L98 starter and the LT1 starter is made to turn over a 10.5 to 1 engine and the bigger bulker L98 starter is made to turn over a 9.3 to 1 L98. The chioce here is clear in my opinon.

 

yes. an 89 305 5-speed starter is working on a LT1/T56 flywheel in my car with no problems.
