Default Starter difference

Gathering parts for my t56 swap into my rcsb silverado. I bought a 2005 GTO trans for good price. From what i read the gto and ls1 have difference starters correct? The gto is slightly smaller and the bell house on t56 has a smaller opening than a f-body. So the question is do i swap to a ls1 bell house and use my lq9 starter or keep current gto bell house and buy a gto starter? I have heard both sides here but they were old posts. thanks

Or, go with option 3...modify your GTO bellhousing to accept the LQ9 starter...

Just notch it out huh. That doesn't look all too bad. Would save me some money but just add a little labor which isnt bad. What tool did you use, dremel?

I used a full sized air grinder with an aluminum cutting bit...just went really slow when I got close to breaking the surface.
