I just replaced my starter a month ago with a GM remanufactered piece, because they don't carry new ones anymore. Well it just went out and now I'm on the fence with going with another GM piece or an aftermarket high torque one. Where and what kind of high torque starters are available for my 94TA that has a 383 SuperRam LT1 with 10:8:1 compression. Thanks

 

it should be somewhere around 50 to 70, but Ill tell you one thing, our starters have more torque than alot of ricers cars, ahhahahaha

 

Anyone have more info?

 

my friends have no problem turning over their strokers with the stock units and they have around 11:1-11:3 ish compression.

Correct me if Im wrong, but IIRC the F-bodies and B-bodies use the same Starter. Looks like this:



Now all 92-96 Vettes use the same Starter. It's smaller, lighter, and provides more torque for starting engine. Only thing us B-body guys need to do is stretch the starter power wire a little since it comes up a little short. Also you need longer bolts to attach starter to engine.

 

I broke 3 stock style starters with my 11.2:1 383...Switched to the LT4 (1996 Corvette) starter and all is well now...It fits F-bods with no mods and is a gear reduction type, and clears Kooks LTs...An added plus is it has a cool sound...

they got more hp also. .....j/k


I still have my OEM one on. 83,000 miles on the old and 200 miles on the new

 

yeah that's the same one pictured in the second picture. all LT1 vettes including the LT4 use the same gear reduction type starter

 

I'd buy an LT4 Starter, or a Starter in Good Condition from a Used LT4.
Should be just right for your Application.
