I hear that the starter from an LT-1 Camaro will fit the 3.8L block. What years do I need to look for, and what engine/chassis codes do I need if I go to NAPA for one??
You can go to www.turbobuicks.com and on the left side of the screen there is a link to buy the mini-starter (LT1) with the correct bolts and free shipping for $125 bucks.
The ones on turbobuicks.com are new and come with a 1 year warranty. Not bad for $125 including shipping and you save 10lbs! That is around 1 free hp... and better handling to boot! Well maybe.
Thanks for the TurboBuicks.com url............just ordered myself a starter. Couldn't beat the $125.......even "Discount Auto Parts" wanted $165, plus a core.
I just did this swap last nite, and it works great. It even sounds cool. And since I am an insider I got an ACDelco for less then turbobuicks is selling there japcrap.
