I have read that a truck starter is smaller than the stock f-body starter. Another nice bonus is that it uses the 2 long bolts. Does anyone have a part number? I think I can use a starter from a 1500 Silverado with a 5.3?


thanks

All of them are pretty much interchangeable. Check RockAuto, they carry a brand new unit for like 70 bucks. I can't say how long they last, but its been working for a few months on my car.

Thanks. It looks like it'll be a bitch to change out once the headers are installed, so I was going to go with an AC Delco unit. This is the one I'm likely going with:

Another small, strong, inexpensive starter to consider:

Thanks Mike. I saw that one as well. Does anyone know the dimensional differences (total length, width) of the 2 starters compared?

I'd just go into Autozone, ask to see the two starters side by side, compare them, and see if one of them is smaller.

In this thread we compared ls1 starter to 5.3 truck starter to fit the sanderson headers.

I used one from ebay. Was like 79 buck mini-starter. Came from Tn and works great. Uses a 2 long bolts. I was worried because the price was so cheap but they work great!
