So will this starter work on my 2008 lfa 6.0 came out of 08 hybrid tahoe? I was also researching this part number ACDelco 12617229, connector and bolts and found them on amazon for cheap also just not sure if they will fit but price is right. Going into 67 camaro 6.0 aluminum block with ls3 intake and dougs headers.

Well I partly installed my LS3 starter in my 98 LS1 last night and ran into a couple small issues. Not completed yet as I did not have time to solder the new pigtail so I haven't even tried to kick it on yet. First of all it does fit but there is a thing or two one should know.
The starter sits 3/4" higher than the stock LS1 starter. This means it engages at a different location than the one originally intended. Hopefully that won't be a problem and clearance either. The flywheel inspection cover needs to be modified for this by cutting part of the plastic off. Also there is a 3/4" opening left behind at the bottom of the starter as it no longer sits at the same location. I now have to find a way to cover this hole. Not sure if the inspection cover off an LS3 car would fit mine. I would appreciate some feedback on this.
Also since the starter sits a little more tightly against the engine right above the pigtail connector there is going to be a ground strap bolt. Be careful to move that wire so it points to the side and not down as it will hit the pigtail connector and possibly break it. I managed to slightly crack mine when putting it in.
I will report back when I got it started and running. Having known about the clearance issue and flywheel inspection cover modification required I would of grabbed an updated LS1 starter.

I tried the 2010 starter on my LS3 with a quicktime bellhousing and it did not fit. The snout of the starter is too high when installed on the engine and contacts the inside of the bellhousing. I found that the Bosch SR8581N fits this application and costs $107 new at Rock Auto. It is new and not remanufactured. It does not require the $15 pigtail and uses the factory long bolts that the 2010 camaro starter uses. Hope this helps

Just to update. Amazon has the starter, pigtail, and the starter bolts available for $117 Prime. The shield and the shield bolts need to be sourced from the stealership.
