Im puttin a t56 from an lt1 car into my 87 Iroc. Can i use my stock starter?

 

I had to get one of the mini starters when I did my conversion.

A stock T-5 starter will fit. However a stock 700 starter may not, because some of those have a larger nosepiece.

"Work" is a different matter.

A stock LT1 starter will work.

Any of the mini-starters that accommodate the 12.8" flywheel should work. Not having seen every one that there is however, I cannot make any promises about any specific one.

No one in his right mind would want to preserve the cheezy Stone Age direct-drive Delco POS from the 30s that came with a T-5. Throw that Neanderthal relic in the trash and move at least into the 20th Century, if not the 21st.

 

Stock style starter that works:


And the one that doesn't:

 

awesome thanks guys! Got a stock lt1 starter for now. I'm trying not to spend a **** load on this swap
