anyone ever see a light-weight replacement starter for a j-body, fried mine and i wanna check all my options first
thanks
96 2.2
the 2000+ starters are smaller and lesser than the 99 and below 2.2 ohv starters....
basically just get a 2000+ starter
your off by a year , 99-up have the smaller starters
how much lighter do you need.........the starter on my eco weighs like 2 pounds, mabey less

nope... i have a 99 and its large as nuts.....
signal13 also has a larger starter and he runs a 99...
bubble guts however has a 2000 and its small.
maybe late year 99's on some, but in 99 it was the last year of the more user friendly strut mounts and big starters...
once they ran out, the later 99;s got the new 2000 stuff.
Do these smaller starters interchange with what years?
the same engines of the big starter years.... basically all third gens for each respective engine.
whats the point of having a smaller one?
takes less voltage or amps to start...
...and normally weighs less

so what you're sayin is that a 2200 starter will fit in a 2.2 starter's spot
That's what I'm getting from this

all of my friends with 99's have had the small starters
maybe yours was replaced atone time and all they had was the small ??
but ill go with the mid year cange over
the smaller starter is(guessing) 1/3 to 1/2 lighter than the big 1 , its a gear reduction starter , which takes less power to spin , and makes more tq when its engaged , so it spins the motor over easier

dud its the SAME EXACT BLOCK...so why wouldnt it fit?
just needed to be sure the mounting points are the same....if it's smaller then the mounts might be placed differently
not really its just the actuall part with the magnet really, the solenoid.... you;ll see when you visit the parts store.
