Long bolt Starter options
I've been searching online for a bit now trying to figure out which starter to get for my c5 corvette
Option 1. Potentially real "acdelco" starter on Amazon part number 337-1033 the price leads me to believe its fake but let me know your opinions

Option 2. Duralast Starter Motor DL9947S reman starter. Only worry would be reliability

Let me know what you guys think or which other starters are good reliable options. Again also looking for the long two bolt starters not the original style short and long.

I am on the same Bosch Starter. No problems but it is low miles at this point.
The LT starter is promising but with the electrical system passing though the starter and how Corvettes have been picky, I'd rather have a bolt in swap.

Some of y'all are way overthinking the LT starter swap.
You don't have to use the LT wiring pigtail if you dont want to.
The car(C5) will not give a crap if it has an LT starter in it electronics wise.
There are already at least one if not more members in here running these starters.
It's hard to beat a genuine OEM GM starter for 65 bucks lightly used and you can get damn near anywhere.
