starter motors i never got one when i bought my engine, now i see why it was rem-the chevy dealer only has rebuilt ones, and you need a core, or your first born
i see some in summit(i prefer orig equip for starters and alt.) i have seen some on ebay, around $89 (could buy 2, 1 for a spare) since the engine is on the stand, good time to ck the tooth contact
what are you guys using-w/o a core, their around $240 from GM
i am using hooker headers, but would imagine starter should fit w/o interference

Or you can check the local salvage yards. I'm pretty sure that the GM trucks use the same exact starter on the 4.8 / 5.3 / 6.0 and they can be had for pretty low $$$.
I bought one for $50 from a yard in Ohio (cost me $58 shipped). I have to say, that's the best looking starter I've ever bought. Rebuilt ones from parts stores don't usually look that nice. The yellow zinc chromate on the case was absolutely perfect, and it works great. Just a thought.

www.car-part.com will search junkyards for you. I found one at an LKQ in Texas. The girl sounded hot and was very interested in my Camaro. I had to tell her that it wasn't for a Camaro, then she was even more interested.
