Fbody, GTO, similar length and solenoid size
Fbody, GTO, solenoid is clocked differently
Fbody, GTO, snout height is different. Both appear to cover the Fbody T56 flywheel the same
Fbody, GTO, bolt comparison
Fbody starter on my 5.3. No block interference
Fbody starter MAC mids clearance
GTO starter on my 5.3. Again, no interference
GTO starter MAC mids contact. Header flange isnt flush to the head with this starter
Ready to go!

'04 GTO starter was made by Mitsu did not bolt up to my LS6 w/T56 Bellhousing.
The 6.0 truck starter is a half inch shorter than the Delco f-body starter. But I think there are two different 6.0 truck starters. My shorter one came from an Escalade.
The bolts holding the housing together on some of the f-body replacement starters are longer than the OEM. One I got from Rockauto was that way. The Autozone was exactly the same length.
I went through all this crap trying to find a starter that cleared my Sanderson shorties I had to use in an LSX swap into a Miata. Ended up using the 6.0 Escalade starter.
