So SBC's have been basically the same for many many years. I need a starter for my '97 5.7 vortec engine. Autozone has a 13.4 Lb. 9 tooth 1.2KW for $65.00 that is spec'd for the engine. They also have a 19 Lb. 9 tooth 1.2KW starter for a '72 nova 5.7 for $35.00. Both for 168 tooth flexplates. Can the '72 starter be used on the 97 block? What would be the difference. Granted I will most likely go for a 1.6KW starter but I need to know!!!
