Default 5.3 vs 6.0 starters

Are they the same? The starter in my 6.0 seized today, and I have a spare 5.3 starter, just wondered if it would fit. I have no desire to change a V12 starter twice!

sorry, I meant what year was the 5.3 starter. I don't think it matters since the part numbers all supersede to the same number anyway.

The large Lucas starters are really difficult to fit compared to the later reduction gear units, may be easier in a LHD car but a real PITA in a RHD.

The actual starter mount is the same
