With my AS&M headers, I'm now sure I can even get my starter out anymore.
Re: LT4 Starter is sweet!!
Almost makes me wish my stock starter would die just so I can get one of those puppies. Kind of hard to justify replacing a part that works fine though for a new one that doesnt add any hp.
Well, it does add torque....in a way....right?

You also might want to consider the CVR ProTorque starter. Similar to the LT4, priced about the same, and has a body that can be rotated to about 8 different positions to clear headers.

Re: LT4 Starter is sweet!!
I thought LT1s already used a gear reduction starter. I know my Caprice does not and it is MUCH heavier than my Z28's starter. The one or two pound difference is due to it simply being a different starter (I think Nippondenso maybe) rather than direct drive vs gear reduction. And yes, I've heard the LT4 starter before (on Caprices) and it has a very smooth whirring sound that's kind of exotic.

How did the install go on this? Did it fit the same or did you have to modify something. I am having trouble with my install, it seems to be to small for the hole the old LT1 starter used to fit in.

Re: LT4 Starter is sweet!!
I read a post sometime in the past. They said that the LT4 starter was interfering with their SLP headers.
I have SLP single cat mid length headers on my 95 M6.
I was wondering if anyone else was using the LT4 with SLP headers?
