WTB: LS1 or 5.3 starter

[sweet_87_iroc]

I need a LS1 or a 5.3 starter

What style are you looking for? Two long bolts or long and short?

Always two long..block breakage; aint no body got time fo dat

[sweet_87_iroc]

That is a good question. How do I verify which one I need. It's a 03 5.3.

[sweet_87_iroc]

Looks like the 2 long bolt. I also need the torque converter dish covers

[hoogiesngrinderz]

I'll take a look to see what I have.

I know I have a two long bolt starter with new bolts on a 5.3 build in the garage, cleaned and painted, but it's for a current build. For the right price I'd sell and find another as there is no rush on this setup. I had a few covers as well...who knows if I'll be able to find the extras

What do you want for the starter?

[hoogiesngrinderz]

Found these on ebay, I won't sell mine that cheap

How much would you sell yours for?

[Iroc'nthe87]

Why not buy one of those from the auction? Think Mike's starter is cooler?

[sweet_87_iroc]

No I am afraid of a bad starter after a few pulls.

[Iroc'nthe87]

I think you can buy a new starter for like $100

[sweet_87_iroc]

Yeah I am about to look. I figured maybe someone had a decent one laying around.

used is used right, things that could fail, I would buy new.

[hoogiesngrinderz]

I'd sell for $70, minus bolts. I put quite a bit of time into cleaning and painting the housing on this one, it is on a super clean 5.3 that is going into 55 Nomad show car. It is a used unit though.

With all that said, I've purchased 5 used starters (all from vehicles w/ over 150k) and haven't had one fail yet. The one link I gave offered a 6 month warranty. Of all the starters I have replaced, none of the vehicles were newer than 1993...all the used LS starters I've bought were for engine builds.
