anyone replaced their starter motor recently?

[V8Dom]

need to replace my starter and just wondering if they are sorced via Real Steel and what i need to know
im sure there are diferent variations in teeth per flywheel, but is it a standard chevy part?

cheers dom 2001 sbc 383

Bit of a can of worms assuming you have a G50 box: is your starter mounted gearbox side or engine side? Do you know if its a gear reduction starter? You can also get different number of teeth on the starters too, so best bet is to take it out and have a look. Has it failed or are you looking to uprate it?

Call Kennedy Engineering, they had a high torque starter for a G50. I just replaced mine about a month ago.

Take it out and get a direct replacement from the factory (exchange) quick turnaround and reasonable price too.

sadly the factory have a 2 week waiting list
mine is a g50/52
108 teeth on flywheel starter comes in from engine side and mounts on adapter plate not gearbox mounted
not sure if they are all the same
yes its gear reduction but all sprayed black difficult to identify.
its fairly new... maybe 2 years old but looking inside full of rust so obviously not well sealed
