I have a 01 4.3 vortec in a 94 pickup, using a Advanced Adapters bellhousing adpater with the toy 5spd. I was wondering what starter I should use? The truck was built by a previous owner, he had what looked like a reg. chevy starter that had been ground to fit inside the bellhousing.(the nose broke off the starter) I had a old starter lying around and switched the nose off of it. Ground down a little and it still doesnt fit. I really dont fell comfortable grinding much more.

So what starter are you using? (those of you with the same swap)

 

nobody has this set-up?

 

You look over on Pirate and search. They have some good info on this. Most of those guys use a mini starter.
