NO it will not. You would need the heads off the vortec engine to make it all work. The 96 that you are talking about should be a VORTEC engine already from the factory. But you may have an early 96 and that is why it is a TBI engine. That was the year they switch to a vortec. 96 TBI no such animal,TBI OBD2 no
There are 4 different Vortec engines for that year. Stock horsepower at the crank are: The 4.3L (262ci) Vortec V6 has 190hp The 5.0L (305ci) Vortec V8 has 230hp The 5.7L (350ci) Vortec V8 has 255hp The 7.4L (454ci) Vortec V8 has 290hp
is this a vortec engine 4.3 liter casting number on Block 10066061 - 4.3lg
The word 'vortec' is the name of the cylinder heads used in Vortec Model engines in the year 96'+ The engines that use the Vortec cylinder heads are the 4.3L Vortec, 5.0L Vortec, 5.7L Vortec, and 8.1L Vortec. They were only put on Gen I small blocks. If they are any other size Chevy engines and still retain the Vortec name then it's purely a marketing name, the same goes is it is later than a Gen I engine. For example the new 4.2L I6 from GM retains the name Vortec, but it does not actually use Vortec heads as these heads were only made for OHV engines, and the I6 is an OHC engine. The Vortec heads are based on the LT1 and LT4 head after they were discontinued along with their reverse flow cooling design. It is simply an effect made in the head similar to a vortex to better atomize the fuel and air intake charge when entering the combustion chamber, it is not a different type of motor.
i have a 94 cheyenne c 1500 4.3 v6 and it has a vortec
It requires an engine scanner to set the timing on that year engine.
The 2006 model was the last time the 4.0L engine was used.
