80LS1T Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 I need a heatsheild for my starter on my LT1 but Im not sure if the LT1 starter is the same as an old SBC starter? Jegs sells a heatsheild for a SBC V8 for $23.00 and if its the same as a LT1 then I will just buy it rather than make one! Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
80LS1T Posted July 8, 2004 Author Share Posted July 8, 2004 This is the one I am talking about.... The starter bolts for my starter are not horizontal, they go vertical. This one looks like it is for a horizontal mounting bolts? What about this type of heat shielding? Any good? (my starter looks like this one, they way it mounts) Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Phil1934 Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 Any auto parts will sell you a sheetmetal cover for the solenoid. That's the part that is heat sensitive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 The LT1 starter is a gear reduction design. It is a planetary setup that is similar in appearance but MUCH smaller than the old style Delco starters. Much less likely to need a heat shield. I highly recommend these. You can get one new for about $150. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
