Got this helpful tip from a Buick racer with 455 and Stg2 heads. He said it fits perfect, works well and is a good deal. > George, > Great news....!!!!! > The best mini starter for the 455 (at a good price) is made by Bosch. > It is listed for a 1995 Buick Roadmaster with a 350 V8. > It is a direct bolt up without shims.

I assume most auto parts stores will carry them. Check your local stores and see what you can find. Should work on high compression engines up to 13:1. I will contact the racer and ask him for more info.
George, I dont know why it would specifically be for '95 Roadmasters only. All 94-96 Roadmaster sedans and wagons all used the same LT1 block o No: BTW - this also reportedly works for GN's
In the Detroit area. Murray's Discount Auto I'm sure Autozone will price match. the SKU# is 25480 and is a 9 tooth not 11 tooth. another # TT-116-3TB this may be a document number?
