Need a new starter

So my replacement remanned starter from pepboys croaked officially. Looking at a starter for a stock car. Anyone have a suggestion as to which one to buy? I dont need anything crazy just a basic replacement starter

You can always go with the LT4 starter (p/n 10455709).

But if all you need is a basic replacement starter, I would just go with a reman from a parts store again.

Does it not have a warranty?

My last reman. starter lasted 7 years and I got it from Advance. I then replaced it with Jegs part number 555-10001. Not sure if it will fit a stockish application though (exhaust clearance might be an issue).

Your best option is going to be (in order) the LT4 starter, a stock starter, or take a gamble with a reman unit. Did your last starter have a warranty?

are the corvette starters basically the same as an LT4 starter?

I took one off a LT1 vette a while ago and it was half the size and weight of a f-body starter

I LOVE my LT4 starter. Its lighter and much smaller as stated above. It sounds much cooler too. And its a direct fit and cheaper if you can believe that. I wouldnt go any other way.
