Just for info purposes . When I was looking for a starter for my ls2 I noticed there was some cheaper than others that looked to be the same and would fit fine . After looking into it a little farther I found that the ls2/ls3 starter was a lot more cost than the 5.3 starters . The difference is that the 5.3 starters is a 1.4kw motor and the 6.0 or larger engines have a 1.7kw starter motor . That's where the cost difference is . On a performance engine I would use the 1.7kw .
