I used a GM PMGR starter for a 99 Suburban with a 454. It bolted right in my car. Just make sure your block is drilled for the pattern of the starter. My crate engines have both the straight and staggered bolt pattern drilled and tapped right from GM. The newer starter I put in was staggered pattern IIRC. I also put in new battery cables to replace my 40 year old positive and ground cables. It is amazing how just the cable swap made it crank so much easier. Sometimes you don't realize how much voltage drop/resistance a wire has.
