starter is inside engine.yes I said inside.intake valley and injection system removed,starter is in valley.Big job!!!here it is!The starter on a northstar engine is located beneath the upper intake plenum. This is correct. I have had one replaced on a 95 eldorado. I suggest you go to your favorite auto parts, buy the starter and take car and starter to GM and let them change it. Buying the starter yourself will save around 300.00. .
It's really a matter of how much work you're willing to put into it. If it can fit in the engine compartment, it can be made to work one way or another. However, using anything other than the OEM engine is going to be a LOT of additional work.. you'll probably need to replace the ECM, find either a workable adapter plate for the transmission or a new transmission (which might require a whole new driveshaft), reflashing or replacement of the ECM, etc.
