The LS-4 Model Vane Starter comprises the front end of an LS-8 with a smaller motor allowing for over sventy applications.
For deisel engines up to 270 CID/ 4.44 liters this economy priced starter is quite adequate where the added torque of the gear reduction LS-8 is not called for.
The LS-4 uses the same drive housing, drive and flange/spacer set up as the LS-8.
The LS-4 is a choice LS-8 alternative when there is room to fit the LS-4 into the engine package.
