GM V8 starters before the mid 90s (or so) are interchangeable except for the nose piece. Since Pontiac mounts starters on the drivers side and Chevy mounts them on the passenger side, there are different noses. There were also normal and heavy duty starters. The normal duty have a spacer in the connection between the starter and solenoid. The HD ones do not.

How do you tell the difference between a Chevy 400 and a Pontiac 400?

Many ways. Pontiac 400 has a cast aluminum timing cover, that mounts the water pump directly on it, Chevy 400 has a stamped steel timing cover, water pump mounts to the block. Pontic 400 has fuel pump on the drivers side, Chevy is on passenger side. Pontiac has a separate valley cover below the intake manifold, Chevy intake IS the valley cover. Pontiac distributor does not go through the intake manifold, Chevy does. Pontiac has 10 head bolts per side, Chevy has 17. Pontiac has long exhaust ports that bend 90 degrees from the side of the cylinder head, Chevy exhaust ports end at the face of the cylinder head. Pontiac spark plugs are above the exhaust manifolds, Chevy is below. Pontiac 400 is physically larger than the small block Chevy 400 also.


What is the difference between a Chevy 305 and a Chevy 350?

The bore and piston size are the only real difference between the two.The 350 has a bigger bore and piston and so puts out more horsepower, the305 = 3.75" bore and the 350 = 4" bore. Both have the same stroke.Also the starters are different because of the smaller flywheel but other wise the external parts are interchangeable.

What is the difference between a starter for a 307 Chevy and a 350 Chevy?

Some starters are intended for a 153 tooth flywheel, some for a 168 tooth flywheel. Most 307's had 153's, and most 350's had 168's, but you could put a 153 on a 350 or a 168 one a 307. Both engines are internally balanced, so as long as you have the correct starter for the flywheel, it will work. The one other difference between Chevy starters, is the length of the armature. The longer one is heavy duty, the shorter one is standard duty. Either will work as long as it's mated with the right flywheel.

What is the difference between 305 and 350?

Subtract 305 from 350 and that will give you the difference (or interval) between the two numbers:- the answer is 45. However, if you mean what is the difference between a Chevy 305 and a Chevy 350, then it is the difference between the engine bore (the cylinder) sizes. The 305 bore is 3.740 inches. And the 350 bore is 4.000 inches, giving the Chevy 350 20HP more then the Chevy 305.
