Is this a Chevy starter motor nose? Pic.

Hi. I am cleaning up the garage and came across this starter nose casting # 360. Is this off a Chevy?

Starter nose

It looks like the cast iron nose used with standard transmissions and the 11" clutch. 427's, 454's and 350's. I see a thru hole on 1 side and the 2 loops on the other---That's what my starter nose looks like.

I though all those were aluminum? The one I have for a 153 tooth flywheel is aluminum, from memory.

I had a 454 4 spd. Chevelle. I don't recall the end of the starter looking like that. But maybe that it, because I don't know where this one would have came from. It has been kicking around the garage for years. Most likely heading to the scrap pile.

My 454 with the large clutch and flywheel (168 tooth I think) had a cast iron starter nose.

I believe it is a real GM nose, but for a 153 tooth flywheel back in the early 60s. The cast iron nose for the 168 tooth flywheel would have staggered bolts.

Where is DZAuto when we need him.

It is staggered. Take a good look at the 2 top pics. The thru hole is at the base of the nosecone and the 2 loops are where the nose housing bolts to the starter body.
