On my '96 1500 Sierra Z71 5.7L the starter is located on the bottom of the block, towards the back, on the passenger side. Some Starters are on the left or right side of the Block. Or if not, inside the engine, under the Intake.

It's located on the passenger side, on the bellmouth of the transmission case. The cables can be hard to get to. It's easier to take the two mounting bolts out and drop the starter out before disconnecting the wires. Watch for shims when dropping starter.

Shims are used only when the starter/ ring gear are too tightly meshed, which can be caused by incorrect tolerances at the factory between the starter/bellhousing. They are not used on a particular year, model etc. Try it without a shim first; if it seems to sound/start fine then it will be fine without one.If the starter seems to labor, or sounds tight, or gets hung up then try a shim.
