yes
They both have EJ25s but they will have different tunes from the factory.
yes in a way but it has been modified NEW ANSWER: The engines are not even CLOSE to being the SAME. Chevy compleaty REDISIGNED the engine blocks and transmissions in late 1999
yes it fit alot of Chevy engines including all small blocks and big blocks to same bolt pattern
yes blocks are the same but components might be different ,but will work
The only thing special about the Vortec is the heads -bore and stroke should be the same on all 350 blocks. Cam is probably different though.
yes, same engine, different stroke makes it a 4.8 they are all lsx blocks.
The blocks were physically the same size so I don't see why not.
no they have slightly different head/intake setups, but the blocks should be interchangeable.
More than likely due to the heat generated. why are engine blocks maid of cast iron
There are 2 different short/long blocks. Thier compression,piston/ rods are not the same. check link below.
Engine blocks are generally made of cast iron, but they are also made of other materials like aluminum and magnisium. When using softer materials for engine blocks the cylinders are lined with steel sleeves to minimize wear.
