Everyone else is going to tell you to go to the guy's listen on Shoebox's site

Or you might be able to get one on the for sale section of the board.

 

LT4 starters have jumped dramatically in price (like $100). You might look at a high torque aftermarket one.

 

Look at the JEG's high torque starter. I bought one when it was labeled as the "CVR Protorque" starter, for about $150. Its now sold with the JEG's label, and costs less. I toasted 2 stock starters in the first 6 years I owned the car. The CVR has lasted 7 years and spins my stroker fine. The starter has multiple sets of holes that allow the body to be rotated to clear headers.

 

do the jegs starters need to be shimmed or do they mount right up? and are they marketed as lt1 starters or just small block chevy starters? thanks in advance.

All starters need to be checked for gear engagement, and shimmed as necessary. The JEG's unit I got did not need any shims, but they were included. There are bolt holes in the mounting flange that allow the starter to be used with either 153- or 168-tooth flywheels.

There was a tiny interference between the corner of the mounting block and the lip of the oil pans that required a small amount of grinding on the mounting surface.

 

ok cool, im definitely going to look into this. thanks
