a starter for an LT4 corvette will it bolt up directly to an LT1 camaro. I can't see why it wouldn't but just checking.

thanks

 

It will bolt right up, but will not clear some F-body headers. I have a pair of SLP 94-95 single cat style headers in the garage that I mocked up, and they did NOT clear the LT4 starter. My new Hooker LT's fit fine.

Yes it will. If you have headers might have to move it around to get it in there. I did with the SLP's.

 

Maybe yours was different, my inner primary was hitting one of the long thru bolts on the starter that held the half together. I just went outside and mocked it up again just to be sure I wasn't talking out of my ***, and sure enough, it's hitting- barely, but hitting.

If I were inclined to make it fit, I'd probably just clearance that part of the primary with a hammer...... But I don't like doing stuff like it.

 

anyone else give this a Try??? I'm trying to make sure somthing will fit, its a GM LT4 starter or an autoZone piece of junk.

thanks for any help

 

Mine bolted right up w/o any problems. I run Hooker shorties...no clearance problems. To me, the results were worth it...very strong starter.

 

What are the benefits for an LT4 starter? anyone bolt one up with Jet Hot LT's?

 

I'm accually not sure of the advantage, I have a chance to buy one local, but I don't want to get stuck with it if it doesn't fit with my FLP long tubes.

 

Its lighter, that's the main benefit. Little bit higher tq too I think.

 

One advantage is that you can buy the LT4 unit new. Std. starters are rebuilt like alternators.

 

I have been using the LT4 starter for years now on mine with Hooker long tubes. Works great!!

 

Damn I thought they would be the same...I just replaced my LT1 starter i should had gotten an LT4

 

Know the P/N by any chance?
