is this the 1 i need? GM LT1 / LT4 Starter

I believe the LT1 and LT4 are different starters.
The one in your photo appears to be an LT1.
The LT4 is for a ‘94-‘96 Corvette Grand Sport. It’s lighter and looks like the following. It seems some of the factory wiring needs to be lengthened, but I’m not sure.

But it fits, works better than the original one, and weighs ten pounds less, which is a huge boost when you go to install it.

the one dynoman posted
be careful some include a new pair of bolts but those bolts are metric and shouldnt be used on the buick ,
i use the original bolts with a large nut slid onto the short bolt

 

[ABLACK6]

thank you sir! i ordered it

 

[hensleyt]

the proper bolts can be bought, without putting a nut on it.

Both of the small wires are short and so is the large wire.
I made two short jumper wires to reach the starter.
This is a very powerful starter and very durable. You'll never break it.

I heard this starter could not be used with TA Performance Race Headers ?
Not sure if the cross over pipe interferes or what exactly the problem is ?

I bought the LT1 starter at Advance Auto. And a two pack of bolts. Bolted right in, hooked right up, no wire extensions or shims. Works GREAT !!! PART # ERE- 17579S . BOLT PACK # MTM 45640
