LT1 Starter

What is the difference between the 94 and 95 Lt1 starters?

Either way, you want an LT4 starter.

It really doesnt matter, the lt4 just makes it a smoother start. Thats all, just get a cheap one from autozone.

Uhh...you mean besides the fact that it's lighter than the LT1 starter?

well here is a nice little tip to do either if you get a lt1-lt4-or auto zone starter. Wrap it in some header wrap. This helps from getting heat soaked.

I have longtubes and have never had any problems with heat soak. But as long as you're putting a new one in, it wouldn't hurt to wrap it up.

Actually i just went through this with my car. I bought a LT4 starter and it didn't work, not sure why. It sounded like the soleniod was engaging but the teeth didn't line up or something. Whatever it was I had to run out and get a LT1 starter, which I think is actually lighter anyways. Plus the LT4 starter is bigger and wouldn't slip in without me dropping part of the exhaust. The new stock starter works fine, and spins pretty smooth and fast actually. Alot different from a stock 84k starter.

Ok I'am confused. Ive seen pictures of a LT1 and LT4 starter side by side and the LT4 one was smaller so I don't see why it wouldn't fit? I'd get the LT4, its cheaper too
