I just bought another mini starter this past week. I put the first one on in 2005. It had many, many starts on it since I live in the city and only travel 4 miles to work and back.
Fits like a glove, light weight and the price is right. Look at this starter and compare it to the factory LT1 Delco unit....looks the same.

I bought this one, so far works good.
